Wow! We had hoped our days in London would prepare us for New York, but we were mistaken, it is truly overwhelming!
We arrived at 2.30am! So we had to wait to this morning to have our first real look. Our hotel is in a fantastic location, we are on the 29th floor and overlook Times Square. This morning we caught a city tour bus and did the downtown loop, it takes about 3 hours, we saw Broadway, Empire State Building, flatiron Building and Ground Zero. We had hoped to visit ground zero but you need to book, next available tour not till November!
We hopped of the bus at the harbor to do a cruise to see the Statue of Liberty but we had the wrong location, so we might try and do that tomorrow.
We hopped back on the bus and did another loop, this time to Brooklyn which is on the other side of Manhattan. We went over the Brooklyn Bridge and toured around for another hour or so, we hopped off and had lunch (a New York hotdog)Yum!
We travelled to the Rockefeller Centre, we went to the observation tower, Which is on the 68th floor, amazing views! We spent about 1 hour there, we decided to walk back to Times Square, and managed to get back to our hotel without getting lost:) Tonight we went on the night bus tour, it took a couple of hours, but it was amazing. We had dinner at Bubba Gump which was fun. We are totally blown away by this city, it is such an unbelievable experience.
