The Statue Of Liberty
Thursday - January 10th 2008
Today my girlfriend felt better again and so we decided to go to the
Statue of Liberty. After a coffee for breakfast we walked to the Flat Iron Building and then we took the subway to Downtown Manhattan from where the ferries to Liberty Island depart.

After we arrived at Battery Park, we bought the tickets for the
ferry to Liberty Island. Unfortunately we had to wait a bit for our tour and so we enjoyed a donut and a cup of coffee in the sun while watching at the sea. Finally it was time for our tour. Before we could board the ferry, we were searched by Port Authority Officers like at airports. After a small boat ride we arrived at the island. From the ferry you have stunning view on Manhattan.

Since it wasn't possible anymore to go inside the statue, we just walked around the island and made some photos. We also visited the tourist center, where you can get some informations about the construction.

Our tour included Ellis Island as well, but we skipped it and returned to Manhattan for a late lunch instead. Afterwards we just walked around Downtown Manhattan. We visited Castle Clinton, Ground Zero, the Wall Street with the New York Stock Exchange and Trinity Church. Later we returned to our hotel.
