The Best was definately saved till last,New York, over the last few months we have had the pleasure of visiting some magnificent places but to me nothing comes close.Our first step into Manhattan was on 42nd street the bus terminal, then from there we got to see the best City in the World,we had discussed what we wanted to see and do so we did have a little plan. The Statue of Liberty one of the most iconic figures ever was my first choice, so a little bus journey down to Battery Park then a 20 min ferry bought us to the Great lady herself,a little time of reflection here from me, overwhelmed, mesmerised i really couldnt believe it was me standing there .Unfortunately there were no crown tickets available so we had to do with just the walk around (maybe next time),a quick look around the island taking in the Liberty Bike made by Orange County Choppers, and the carol singers around the flag pole making this part of our trip extremely special. Back on the ferry to our next destination Ellis Island this is where all immigrants in the late 1880s and early 1900s first stepped foot onto US soil before being let onto the mainland,due to our limited time we had to make short our time here and get back to the mainland.Back on the bus we headed towards Central Park, The Fresh Prin
ce wanted to see The Plaza Hotel where part of Home Alone was filmed, and there was Father Christmas sat at the back of a Coca Cola truck, yep we had our photo taken with him(not sure how pleased he was when i sat on his knee though Lol).As evening had appeared rather quickly we just strolled around taking in all the lights on Fith Avenue, then into Time Square for a little bite to eat.Fully recharged off we set again in search of a spectaular Christmas Tree, The Rockafellar Centre the 70ft high tree in front of the ice rink certainly lives up to all expectation, many just stand and gazed at such beauty.
Time had caught up with us so off we headed for a good nights sleep ready for another exciting day.
