Today was our comprehensive and entertaining tour of the highlights of New York. It included looking around Rockefeller Plaza, St Patrick’s cathedral, and Madison Square Park. I liked riding the Staten Island Ferry, where we had a nice view of the Statue of Liberty, and the skyline of New York. We lunched on Staten Island! – or at least some people had hotdogs, I had Subway, and some people weren’t even hungry after having too many plates of breakfast earlier.

After lunch included a visit to the 9-11 memorial, which was stunning, and we were given enough time on the tour to take it in.

Then a stroll around Central Park to look at John Lennon’s memorial; and Bonnie and Dad found a hawk in the process of eating another bird.

For supper – or lupper? because it was early at another pub with approx 400 beers on tap? I don’t know the exact number, as I had a banana-pineapple cocktail.

Then a little shopping and then back to the hotel because everyone is tired. We’re watching the Oscars in the wrong time zone and deffo will not be making it to the end.
