Day Three - Liberty Island

Hi there - well off we set again having bought tickets for Big Bus New York to show us more of the sights we might otherwise have missed.

 

Hop on and off all day long wherever the fancy takes you.

We got our bus at Broadway first thing in the morning and headed to the

seafront (taking note of landmarks we wanted to visit on the way back)

 

 

We had these tickets that were part of the package we bought

on the Big Bus (these included your boat fare across to

Liberty Island)

 

We were going to see this beauty

 

 

Novel way to store the life jackets!

 

Leaving Manhatten behind - what a busy waterway

We landed on Liberty Island

 

 

 

Off we set and what an awesome sight this Statue is

Snapping madly again the more we walked

 

 

Look at her toes!!

 

 

Look at the inscription on her book

 

 

Look at her!!!!

The tall building has been erected on the sight of the

Twin Towers!!!!

Four buildings are being built with two finished

and the building on the right of the picture is number

three still under construction

 

 

 

 

 

Café entrance for a hot chocolate (the best in the world that I have tasted)

to warm us up on this really cold day

 

 

I took this photo of facts about

The Statue of Liberty

as a question on the quiz programme The Chase before we left

was how long was the nose - now we know - 4ft 6"

 

 

On the ferry back to Manhatten there is a stop at Ellis

Island along the way

 

 

We leave her behind heading back after another awesome day

on our trip to New York

 

Thanks for popping by

Hope you come back another day
