Today was one of my favourite days of tour, the theme park Kings Island. It is no secret that I and many other members of the orchestra love rollercoaster and other thrill rides so today was a big treat, for other not so much. But Kings Island has lots of other attractions too to occupy the non-thrill seekers among us.
Today was our first proper day in Ohio. After a wonder breakfast of pancakes and scrambled eggs we meet in the car park and drove about 20 minutes down the road to the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
We were still recovering from the crazy night last night when we got up this morning but it was suitcase packing and bus loading time. We were on board and ready to leave just after 8 for a long day on the buses.
This has been the best AFO day ever according to Musical Director David Moore.
The morning was another early start, but most days seem to be. We were on the buses by 8am, our subway days are thankfully over, and drove down to the United Nations building for guided tours.
After a monster of a day yesterday we took today a bit more slowly and relaxed. We started the day with breakfast at 8, and I know a lot of people were happy to see pancakes and Nutella at the buffet.
The city never sleeps and apparently neither does AFO, it was a late night and an early morning for one of the busiest days of the Tour. There is a lot to see and do in New York and we packed in the best of it for our first full day.
