So day 2, think we were all feeling the jet lag today I was so tired and having to get up early on holiday should be illegal, but needs must and today we felt like real New Yorkers riding the subway down to South Ferry Station to hop on a boat to see the glorious Miss Lady Liberty.
So just to give you an idea of secruity our boat seats were booked for 10am and we were told to get there for 8:30am, the Americans seem to love security and we pretty much went through airport security just to get on this boat, and from my previous trip to NYC theres even more checks when you get to the Statue of Liberty.
Comfiest shoes ever for walking around all day, Adidas Superstars.
The great thing about the boat is its so slow and you can get a really good view of the NYC skyline and the amazing new One World Trade Centre, which towers over the rest of the city, it really is beautiful.
As a group we decided not to get off at the Statue as you can see all you need to see from the boat and we were more interested in spending time at Ellis Island, the building is amazing and the tours there are very good, you really get a feel for what is was like for so many immigrants arriving in America.
Yep the school buses really are like this, sometimes being in NYC made me feel like I was on a movie set, all the things you see in the movies really are real, sounds so stupid but its just how it feels.
