Gooooooooodmorning from a -3ºC Battery Park
We woke up early this morning and caught the subway downtown to visit Lady Liberty.
Nath got an excellent picture from the ferry :) you can tell it's legit because of the lovely stain down the side from whoever had the window seat before him haha!
I also got an excellent shot of her....
The weather is taking its toll on everyone!
First stop was the Liberty Cafe for hot chocolates as the wind was freezing...though we couldn't have wished for a prettier day. The sun was shining and there was hardly a cloud in the sky!
We attempted many many selfie's..trying to fit in the snow and Statue..
Eventually a lovely couple pitied us and kindly offered to talk a nice one of the three of us :) yay!
Nath enjoying the view of Manhattan...whilst passers by enjoyed the look of him in a 'coon hat and crown!
Back in Manhattan we visited the 9/11 Memorial Centre which is amazing, and devastating. Its so hard to imgine New York with the Twin Towers...as they have been gone for so much of my life, but the legacy lives on.
The new One Trade Tower is massive looming over downtown Manhattan and the projected towers that will join it look to be spectacular.
A quick pit-stop at Macca's to refuel before Madame Tussauds!
Where we met royalty!
(SHE IS SOOOOO PRETTY!)
Nath got a blessing from the Pope..who was probably the most realistic wax model there, it was incredible!
Pondered life with Mr. Ford
Little Madame Tussaud herself.
Ran for President...
Got defeated by Nathan!
Experienced 'New York' in New York haha!
MATCHING ;)
So. Many. Wax. Celebrities.
I LOVE YOU BEYONCE !
Nath may have found his true calling in life...*NSYNC missed out
We also saw a 4D movie about the Avengers, so good!
It was a massive day!
Best reward though? Caramel Cookie Crunch Ice Cream in bed!
We never want this holiday to end!!
