Started early today with an early breakfast on 42nd Street. I caught the subway down to the bottom of Manhattan island and caught the Ferry across to Staten Island. You get a great view of the statue of liberty and the ferry is free. There seemed to be quite a few tourists just making the round trip.

After getting back I walked around Battery Park and then up past the Bowling Green (which didn’t seem to actually have a bowling green) to Wall Street. I had a walk around the stock exchange and saw lots of people in suits with their coloured bibs on over the top. They did look smart, but it made me thankful I work in a jeans and t-shirt office.

I caught the train back up to 42nd Street and did some shopping up and down 5th and Madison Avenues. I stopped for something to eat at the Rockefellar Center and walked up Broadway to have a look around Macy’s. The books are right, it is big and I like how they still have wooden escalators on the upper floors. It gets confusing though as they also have half floors.

It was getting dark now so I walked back down Broadway to Times Square to take some night pictures.
