      Statue of Liberty & Hamilton!

      May 14, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Hoje acordámos tarde para descansar, e fomos descobrir onde era o terraço do nosso prédio, para ir espreitar a cidade de "cima", depois disso saímos para ir tomar o pequeno almoço algures 🤷 encontrámos um sítio com uma pequena esplanada e que servia fruta fresca! Depois do pequeno almoço fomos apanhar o ferry de aqui ao pé até Wall Street para depois apanharmos o ferry para Staten Island.

      A caminho do ferry passámos pelo 9/11 memorial e pelo novo World Trade Center, e almoçámos no Brookfield Place.

      Apanhámos o ferry errado 🙃 foi para Staten Island na mesma, mas pagava-se... Só que era um ferry mais pequeno e o condutor até abrandou perto da estátua da liberdade para as pessoas poderem tirar fotos! Depois para voltar já voltámos no ferry certo

      Quando saímos do ferry o meu pai foi para casa e nós ficámos a dar uma voltinha. Decidimos não subir ao World Trade Center porque estava visibilidade 0 lá em cima, portanto fomos passear pela Chinatown (onde comprámos lanche), Little Italy e Soho! Quando chegou a altura de apanhar o metro para casa a coisa ficou mais complicada... As máquinas do metro não aceitam nenhum cartão europeu e nós só tínhamos uma nota de 20$, o problema é que as máquinas só dão no máximo 9$ de troco (e um bilhete são 3$). Andámos um pouco às voltas à procura de alguém que nos trocasse a nota, mas finalmente conseguimos e viemos para casa.

      Em casa trocámos de roupa muito rápido e saímos a pé para a Broadway, para ir ver o Hamilton!! Chegámos mesmo a horas e o espetáculo foi fantástico 👏👏 Todos os atores foram ótimos e conseguiram dar o seu toque pessoal nas partes mais faladas (por exemplo, exclamações), todos estiveram ao nível nas músicas, e chorei quando a Eliza gritou 😢 no fim roubei um copo de plástico deixado para trás para ter mais uma recordação também ehehe

      Depois do musical fomos jantar a um restaurante lá ao lado muito bom também e voltámos de Uber para casa. Agora vamos descansar para amanhã fazer uma tour de Brooklyn de manhã!

    • Day 7

      New York City

      August 17, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Short one hour drive today to Liberty State Park on the New Jersey side of new york to get the closest views of the statue of liberty without hopping on a boat. I originally wanted to get tickets to take the stairs to the crown of the statue but it was soldout.

      Navigated our way to Times Square as our hotel is only 1 block away. Driving there wasn't particularly difficult, just really slow and congested. Required some aggressiveness though to fight for lane changes etc.

      Walked around time square and then walked to Hudson Yards where i found a really unique experience for us. We ascended 100 stories in the 6th tallest building in new york city via elevator and then with harnesses, ascended another 16 stories via stairs, most of which were outside the building. And eventually to a ledge where tourists could lean out over the edge. This is apparently the tallest exterior building climb in the world.

      Climbing the staircase outside didn't bother me, but definitely quite a thrilling thing to do. I couldn't get myself to lean out over the ledge at the top. However alexa apparently is much braver than me and did both the forward and backward lean! Wow. After that, went to the normal viewing platform and got a bunch of pictures of the city and us on the glass floor and against the angled glass walls over the city.

      From here, we took the subway to the Brooklyn bridge and walked across it to Brooklyn and we found the really cool Dumbo area which is an old industrial area revitalized into a hip restaurant area with cobblestone streets. Had a really good meal at a nice italian restaurant and then took in the nighttime views of the brooklyn and Manhattan bridges.

      Took the subway back to times square, and relaxed at a restaurant where alexa reconnected with her friends online and i did the same with a ridiculous Yard of beer at the Yard House.

      Las Vegas - New York

      April 23 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Heute hiess es früh aufstehen, da unser Flug bereits um 9.30 Uhr nach New York startete. Davor mussten wir aber noch unseren treuen, vierrädrigen Begleiter der letzten drei Wochen zurückgeben. Das klappte zum Glück problemlos! Dann ging es mit Delta in die Luft. Das Wetter war gut und so hatten wir fast während des ganzes Fluges tolle Aussicht. Um ca. 17 Uhr Ortszeit landeten wir in New York, liessen uns mit einem Taxi in die Stadt fahren und bezogen unser Hotelzimmer in der Nähe des Times Square. Auf dem Weg ins italienische Restaurant mussten wir natürlich einen Fotohalt am berühmten Platz einplanen.Read more

      May 20, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 63 °F

      Passed about 4 bridges on our 5 hour drive to nyc! We saw little shop of horrors because it's definitely one of my favorites! Then when we were walking back to the hotel we saw the theatre sweeny Todd is at! We were gonna go see it when we were booking tickets weeks ago but unfortunately was booked full💔 but..! We decided to wait at stage door! Keep in mind it was about 9:30pm and we didn't leave did 12am! It took ages for Josh Groban and Gaten Matarazzo to come out but oh my gosh it was definitely worth it!! Then that was our 1am trip to time Square after meeting the celebs!! Very long day and my feet absolutely hate me now but got to keep pushing till Monday!Read more
