Can you tell where I went yet?

This is now the 2nd day of brilliant sunshine. We’ve had so much bad weather recently that I thought the sun was never going to shine.

On Saturday I went to New York again. It was very nice as I didn’t do anything I had done a couple of weeks ago. We started by walking up 5th Avenue and went into Saks and Tiffany’s and saw the Trump Tower. After that we walked through Central Park. There was a live concert going on, but I’m not sure who was playing. We carried on through to Strawberry Fields and the ‘Imagine’ plaque and then on to the Dakota, where John Lennon used to live and was murdered in 1980. After that we walked past the Rockefeller Plaza then down to the Empire State Building. The queue was unbelievable and it took about 1½ hours to get to the top. When we got there it was well worth the wait as you could see for miles.

After the Empire State Building we went over to Staten Island on the ferry. From here you get the best views of the Statue of Liberty. We were so lucky and the sun was just setting. I have some great pictures of the sunset! When we got to the other side we had about an hour wait before the ferry back, so we just set on the island looking back to the lights of downtown Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. The view was absolutely amazing. After that was a walk through Times Square and then back home on the train. Today has been a day of rest, and a chance for my muscles to recover.

I have given you more pictures to view this time as there were so many to choose from, and I just couldn’t decide which ones to display. Don't forget to double click on them to enlarge them :-)
