Day 3

Wednesday 3rd September 

Another busy day it was today ! We were up by 8am and had departed from the hotel after a cosy breakfast at 9. Today was Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island day. It was on the outskirts of Manhattan so we took the metro then the south ferry to liberty island ( a lady from the hotel who was leaving gave us her metro passes for free!!). 

After learning some history from an audio tour we grabbed a drink and sat down to enjoy the surrounding views of liberty island which is a very clean and enjoyable place to visit ( I recommend!). We then visited the nearby Ellis Island...

(Hello kitty joined us on the trip and her friend octopussy).

We returned on the metro and took a trip to the natural history museum but only had one hour before it was closed. We still got to see some awesome exhibitions including the evolution of humans and many dinosaur fossils and skeletons.

We then returned to the hotel and got ready for the evening where went to Times Square!! It was so fun, I got a caricature done for $5, it is actually a pretty funny picture

We had a ramble around Times Square enjoying the scenery and buzz. Also popping into the Hershey's store and M&M shop while we were at it :)

After ( yes the day is still going on!) we went to the souvenir shop where I managed to haggle down the prices before and the young Indian guy that was working there was convinced I was going to be his wife... Little did he know I was just flirting to get the prices down and we got such a good deal! And finally we ended the day (or night shall I say!) at the famous 'Cake Boss' shop on 8th avenue where I had a carrot cake and Judy and Martina had NY cheesecake! It was sooooo good and totally worth the extra few dollars.

So tired it's 2am here! Goodnight all and see you soon.
