Coney Island

Last weekend we went to Coney Island, which isn't actually an island. It's on the edge of Brooklyn. It has a little bit of beach, some fake palm trees and a stack of rides and carnival stalls. I don't know whether it was really worth the long train ride out there, but it was a bit of fun and it's one of those places we felt we should see. We had a meal of cheesy fries (fries coated in cheese sauce) by the 'beach'. It wasn't an ideal day for the beach! Very cold and windy. We also went on a cool rollercoaster that had very steep drops. It was great! I had planned to have some cotton candy (fairy floss), however forgot until I was on the train home! Oh well, there are plenty of cotton candy opportunities here!
