We started the day on the circle line semi circle cruise. The weather was pretty grey and windy, so different from the day we arrived. We knew from watching the telly there was a storm coming in, but that wasn't gonna stop us! The cruise was great we went from about 45 street (I think) all the way around to the opposite side if you get me. We went past all the key land marks and saw some amazing views of the sky line, Statue of Libitey, One World Trade Centre and the Brooklyn Bridge (our fave). It was a tad brezzy to say the least as you can tell from the pics!
After the boat trip we wandered down The High Line. This was one thing Russ was really looking forward to doing. Basically it is a dis-used railway track that has been turned into an urban park. It takes you down from mid-town to the Chelsea markets. We found it a great way to get from each place as it was above street level so you got there quicker, no dodging people or waiting to cross roads! There was some amazing grafiti and we took quite a few photos as you can see below.
By this time it had started to get a little rainy, we had lunch at Bills Diner, yummy hot dog and sweet potatoe fries we made our way to Washington Arch. We saw this in When Harry Meet Sally which we watched before we came to New York. The arch looks straight up 5th avenue. On a sunnier day I'm sure the view would look much better! As we walked back to the hotel after a long day we stopped by the Flat Iron Building which I think is one of my fave New York Buildings. I love the shape and the detail of it.
That evening we went to Bubba Gump Shirmp for amazing dinner and cocktails. We had been wanting to go here for a while and it didn't let us down! We even debated re-visiting it during our visit!
That's day 2 bye for now!!
