Big Wave Goodbye

Posted by davidarow | 24th June 2007

The last couple of days in New York started with an early, well organised trip to Battery Park to get tickets for the Statue of Liberty. We waited in various queues (mostly security) and got the ferry out to Liberty Island. They were filming an Eddie Murphy comedy on one of the piers, which was drawing as big a crowd as the big green woman with the torch. We queued (again) to get into the statue and, whilst you can't climb all the way up inside the body, we went out on top of the stone pedestal. Cue amazing views over the harbour, and a cracking photo op courtesy of some random strangers and their headgear.

Afterwards we got the ferry over to Ellis Island, just alongside, and looked around the Immigration buildings and displays. Really interesting, and nice to wander around in the sun afterwar
