9 May 2010 - New York


Arrived in NY yesterday and arrived at our hotel around 6pm. Which left enough time to head into Times Square to have a look at the lights and have some dinner. Unusually for this time of the year the weather here is quite cool and we had to rug up a bit. Today, with a full day ahead of us we started with a visit to Ground Zero, the site of the WTC twin towers. We followed this up with a three hour cruise around Manhatten island which is spectacular and unforgettable. From this cruise you can see most of the major landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Once again it was quite chilly but an unforgettable day none the less. This evening we walked to Little Italy, which is just around the corner from our hotel and had a fantastic meal at one of the many Italian restaurants.
