Yet another great day in NYC. We had a sleep in this morning then hopped on the subway and headed down to meet friends Mike & Amy for brunch. They live near the seaport area which received a lot of damage during the recent hurricane. We met in a local restaurant that has just reopened and it was lovely to see them again and catch up for a few hours. Danielle and I then walked all along the waterway down to the Statten Island Ferry terminal and caught the ferry over to Statten Island and then back again. It is a free ferry connecting NYC and Statten Island and goes right past the Statue of Liberty so it is very popular with tourists as well as locals commuting. We then headed towards the subway entrance but just kept walking. It was a beautiful day. Although there was an icy breeze blowing in the open areas, out of the breeze and in the sun was gorgeous. We walked for miles up Broadway looking in different shops along the way. We stopped and bought an extra bag to take back to LA with us J Eventually we caught the subway back to Time Square and walked to our apartment. We dropped off our bags and then went for some dinner at the diner across the street before coming back and doing some washing (yeah!!!) We spoke to Mum & Dad and Valjene on skype. It was nice to see Mum & Dad even though we talked on the phone yesterday Dad isn't well at all but he is home. Danielle is in bed so I should head there also - It's almost midnight and we have a HUGE day tomorrow.
