New York City

Caught the subway to Brooklyn Bridge stop and walked across the bridge. The approaches to get onto it and off it were almost as long as the bridge itself. Fantastic views of Manhattan and the Freedom Tower rose like a beacon above everything else. Could see the Statue of Liberty clearly in the distance. Once off the bridge we walked under it until we found Grimaldi's Pizza for lunch. Lovely thin crust pizza that was huge but we still managed to finish it!! Walked back to the subway and caught the train to Grand Central Terminal, had a look around and then walked back to the hotel. We were both pretty tired after all the walking of the last two days so we had a rest before the Social. It's the last one for the week so we'll make the most of it. Decided to see a show tonight - a toss-up between the musical Matilda the Musical and Les Mis. Matilda won and we are so glad it did. Its based on a Roald Dahl story and starred a large group of children aged about 8,9,10. They were amazing - all the cast were amazing and the special effects were incredible in the small Shubert theatre. It's a beautiful intimate little theatre and at one stage it had four swings on stage and the cast were swinging out towards the audience. We had fantastic seats at a pretty "fantastic" price but it was well worth it! A great end to another great day!Read more
