This morning we breakfasted once again at the Murray Hill Diner before walking a few blocks West to board a subway train down to the Southernmost tip of Manhattan.
We found ourselves at Battery Park where we took a ferry out to Liberty Island to view the Statue close up.
The afternoon saw u s take a stroll through the Financial District and we took in Wall Street and the famous bronze Bull Market statue amongst the many sights. Some of the older buildings in this area may not have the height of the newer towers of steel and glass but the y have an ornate grandeur that is simply stunning.
We closed out our afternoon by walking out to the East River and partway across the Brooklyn Bridge before we turned around and rode the subway back up to 33rd Street.
After dinner we walked a few blocks North and took in The Empire State Building. The view of New York's skyline from the 86th floor observation deck was incredible but it was incredibly busy up there with a constant crush of sightseers jostling to take in the city at night.
So, after this busy day, how did I close things out? A few beers and a movie on TV? ...
... Well basically "yes", but there was also a brief session spent vigorously pumping plunger in our hotel suite's lavatory ...
... Thanks TP
