K guys actually I'm 2 posts behind because just so many things happened the last week. I went to New York this week with my family, after they came to Grand Island.
Right when we got out of the airport you KNEW that you are in New York because there were yellow taxis EVERYWHERE! We stood in line for a little bit to catch one but then we had an hour ride to Manhattan to our hotel. It's crazy how far away the JFK airport is from the actual city!! We went to get the luggage to the airport checked the hotel out and then we got on the Subway already. It's so like in the movies. Really busy, pretty, people play music down there for money. The first tip in New York this day was only to get food actually. We ended up in a restaurant eating pizza and watching baseball but i had to explain the rules. I'm so proud that I understand this game.
Second da we got up waaay to early! We went to Starbucks for breakfast and right after that we took the subway to catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. When we got on the Ferry there was a security check like on the airport as well as on all the other famous sightseeings. Weird.
This day pretty windy and I think there was a thunderstorm- or at least it rained. But the statue of liberty is So huge and impressing when you see it. Unfortunately you couldn't go in, because they fixed something. That#s tooo bad but so you could take a lot of pictures. There were a lot of other people too but not too many. It was fine. Ellis island, the Immigration museum was quite interesting we had an Audio Guide there. THis day we also visited Ground Zero, where there are 2 waterfalls instead of the towers. And you can see the new WTC towers right behind them. I also saw the 9/11 memorial. THis day we also went to Bodies- the exhibition, you know this body exhibtion with real human bodies you can see.... urgs. And after THAT we went to the Empire state building. Went to the 86 th floor with an elevator which was really fast. The view was amazing but you had a fence in front of you, which was a little bit annoying.
Next day we went to a cruise round Manhattan, we tried at least. When we took the subway it turned out that it was the wrong one, so we had to walk forever to get there. But we passes timesquare and I was so excited. The cruise around Manhattan was great i saw so much. New Jersey, Skyline of Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge, apartments and the tour guide told us interesting stuff like that there are 11 000 taxis in NY, that an apartment in Manhattan is 3 000 $ per month and history stuff.
The other days I saw all the famous sightseeings, went ot Madame Tussauds, went to Times Square and went shopping. I really like it But you have to walk sooo much there, every day i was so tired in the end....
New York is a great city, you should have seen it once. :)
Oh well people I'm outta here I think the post would be longer if I would feel like writing right now. But I don't :D
Well see ya in a little bit because I have to write about my ACTUAL situation!
