Thank you for taking the time to visit my travel blog. These pages are there to keep my family & friends updated when I'm away, but everyone else is welcome too! Don't be shy and let me some comments ^_^
I'm very tired and today, the post will be short. I'm also a little fed up because the museums close early and I didn't do what I expected to do: for a lot of small museums, you must follow a guide who speaks english and tell you much more than you need to know and all this make you waste your time and miss other museums. That could sum up my day.
I'm a pictures addict, but I think I've never taken so many pictures. Today started early because some of my roomates woke up at 7.00 and then I did the same.
Today was my last day in NY before I move to Boston (I will come back here for one day at the end of my trip, but I don't think I will have the time to visit a lot of places).
The weather forecast was right: today, we've had a wonderful day and I don't regret I planned my visit of Staten Island for today.
Another busy day has ended here in NY. This morning, as I planned, I went to South of Manhattan and took my ferry ticket to go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The sky was bright and the temperature just perfect. The Statue of Liberty is a must-see as it's one of the most famous monuments in the world, but the most interesting part of the stop on this island is the view: you have a breathtaking view of the south of Manhattan. A little further you can also see the Empire State building. I took the time to sit down, drinking slowly a good cappuccino and admiring the panorama.
Today, I have visited a lot of places.
I was going to the subway station when I saw a bus going downtown... well, my metro card allows me to take the bus, then let's go. It's raining and I don't want to walk in the rain. Now, I can tell you that the metro is muuuuuch faster than the bus. The only good thing with the bus is that you can sit down and see the streets. Yep , I know I'm lazy. New york is wonderful! There are a lot of cars, and of course you have traffic jam, but it's not driving you mad like in St Petersburg. It's much more quiet.
