So I wrote a blog yesterday, but the Internet in the Hostel wasn't working when I tried to upload it - so here is yesterdays with todays added onto the end! Hi everyone! Today has been action packed! We got up at 6, and have just got in (it is now half 7). First stop today was The Statue of Liberty, we got on a little ferry that shipped us over to the island - we learnt about the sybolism of the statue and the history. Really interesting and very impressive. ...
