Today we traveled over to Staten Island using the free 24 hour ferry. The views of the Statue of Liberty from the boat are amazing. The crossing takes 25 minutes, and is a really nice way to see the harbor and Manhattan skyline.
During the wander back to the hotel through Battery Park we stumbled upon a street show, which was brilliant.
We then headed back up to Central Park via the subway and on to the Boat House to grab a bite to eat. The Boat House is surrounded by some really great outdoor musicians, and waiting in the queue to hire a row boat was almost a treat!
We love central park, there is so much going on, and so many different types of people. We saw, Live Jazz, Acrobats, A Roller Disco, Volleyball, Photo Shoots, Horses and Karts, people sunbathing in "Sheep Meadow" and a man playing his walking stick... Anne has decided its her favorite place!
After the park we walked down to the Rockerfeller center to take in some city views. I was actually a bit disappointed by the views marred with greasy hand-prints on 2 inch plate glass... Far too busy too. Bloody tourists...
Later we came back to the "Top of the Rock" to get the same views at night and it was even busier, I got a few snaps but nothing to write home about. Ironically, I took the photo below from the hotel room just before we left...
We walked back to have dinner and hail a cab and saw Times Square at night.... CRAZY place, its like daylight with all those bulbs! My Dad would go MAD!!!!
