After a long jet lag induced lye in we headed to the train station and got a week pass for the train system so we could go wer ever we wanted. We then headed into downtown Manhattan getting off at time square. Its so crazy, so many people and cars and taxis. We3 wandered around for a bit and then got another train to the rockerfeller building. We went up the 67 floors to the top. There wer amazing views over the whole of Manhattan, central park and the empire state and you could just see the statue of liberty. We stayed up ther for quite a while. We then got the train back to our hostel and cooked some yummy tea.
After another long jet lag induced lye in we headed downtown to the statten island ferry. We crossed the harbour with views of the stature of liberty and the Manhattan skyline. There wasn't much to do on statten island so we got the ferry back half an hour later. We then headed to the site our the world trade centres. its just one massive building site, they are making another big tower and a memorial but there is nothing there yet. We then headed back uptown to a cinema near our hostel where we watched star trek which was really good. Due to our messed up sleeping and eating times we weren't hungry enough to cook our spaghetti bolognaise so we just got a slice of yummy takeaway pizza.
This morning we got up early (well 10.15) and went to the cinema again, it was $6 before 12pm. We saw dance flick which was quite funny. This afternoon we went back to times square and to m&m world which was awesome, some much random stuff all to do with m&ms. We then headed to the bottom of the empire stet building, we didn't go up as it cost quite a bit and would be the same as the Rockerfeller.
This evening we cooked our last supper of spaghetti bolognaise and later we are going back into town to see the city all lit up.
