New York City 5th - 8th July

From the Finger Lakes, we head towards New York.

This is quite a drive. Halfway there, around 6:30 pm, we treat ourselves to a proper steak (Outback Steakhouse in Butler NJ).

Finally, we arrive in New York. Rainer focuses on the traffic and potholes while Marie navigates through the streets of New York. Rainer follows the bus until we reach a bus station. Eventually, we find our way out and also find our hotel (Arlo Nomad) next to the Empire State Building in Manhattan.

Day 1

Breakfast at the Panamera, then take the Hop on/off Bus to the World Trade Center. There, we visit Ground Zero - the big hole that reminds us of the two towers that were destroyed by terrorists.

From there, it's not far to the ferry port. We take the ship on a round trip past the Statue of Liberty and back.

In the evening, we take a bus for a 'night tour' to Brooklyn.

Day 2

Breakfast at the Panamera again.

Take the Hop on/off Bus around Central Park, then ride bikes through Central Park. Short break at John Lennon Memorial Spot.
