This was my last photo of New York City – The Rockefeller Christmas Tree in all its glory. We left the hotel (we stayed in the Waldorf Astoria by the way, it was just beautiful!) at 5;30am to get to the airport, but asked the taxi to go via the tree as it was only lit last night, andContinue reading “29/11/2012 – Last Snap of a Beautiful City”

28/11/2012 – A Stroll to Say Goodbye
Our last full day in New York City.

We got the ferry to Staten Island today to get pictures of the lady herself, the Statue of Liberty. It’s a great way to get close view of the front of the statue, and a fun (free!) boat ride! Another day of walking and exploring!
24/11/2012 – Ground Zero
We visited Ground Zero today, the memorial site for the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers. It was a sollum atmosphere, very peaceful and respectful. We spent a lot of today on the hop-on-hop-off NYC tour bus learning more about the areas, but my was it damned cold!
23/11/2012 – New York City’s Times Square
Another full packed day exploring New York City! We spent a lot of aboard the hop-on-hop-off tour bus, getting our bearings of the different areas. New York is proving to be a very exciting city with so much always going on. It’s definitely the city that doesn’t sleep, and I’m loving it!
22/11/2012 – Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
