LEAVING NY ON TOUR

Day 211

After our hectic day yesterday where we saw Ground Zero, Mamia Mia which i have told you about...and to the Statue of Liberty, which i haven't told you about!

We went on a boat and sailed around The Statue of Liberty as now you can't get into it or even close via the land due to the increased security since 9/11! There are literally thousands of police in New York City. I"d hate to think how many police there would be in New York State (including The Bronx, Manhatten, Queens and Boston!) Too many to even imagine!

Anyway, to continue, after our hectic day and finally getting to bed, we woke pu early (four hours later) and returned to Manhattan again for our tour.

And we still have 2 trips on the Airbus left and 2 days left on our subway card! Doing well! (You have to pay to enter and exit the airport and becaus we've been taking the free shuttle toour hotel each morning and night we had to get a Air Bus ticket for $25 each.and a 7 day subway ticket for $28 each!) It actually works out cheaper than paying a taxi which would be mi $50 one way to Manhatten from Queens.

We were lucky to make it in time for the tour. We ended up gettingthere with one minute to spare!

But from then on, it was a big F up! The tour guide was hopless....and the driver got us lost! Oh well....

At least we got to see Washington DC
