On our 4th day in New York we all went on the Subway to the Ferry so we could sail passed the Statue of Liberty. I was a-bit nervous for the Subway but it was just like the London one. The boat was pretty crowded and in all our photos it was really tiny in the back-round but it was very cool to see such an iconic landmark. That night Mum and Dad lined up for a free ticket to the Jimmy Fallon show to see Anne Hathaway but they didn’t get it. But they would try again on Monday.

The next day we met up with one of Mum and Dad’s friends David to go to the American Natural history Museum. I liked this Museum much better than the one in London, it had so many exhibits to see including wax figures, really detailed stuffed animals plus much more dinosaur fossils and bones. We then walked around Central Park and I think it’s one of my favourite locations in New York. It was just so quiet and removed from the city and all very peaceful. It was also amazing seeing the skyline around you while walking around inside of it. Then Mum and Dad went to a jazz club while Jemilla and me stayed home.

On our second last day in New York we caught the Subway over to Brooklyn to meet up with David and Amanda ( his wife ) for a look around his side of town which felt a lot like Melbourne. It was bucketing down with rain at this point and we were getting completely drenched. So then took a ferry over to another side of the city and stopped to take pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge. We also got to ride a Carousel randomly ( David paid for it) . We then said goodbye to them and went home to get dry. After we were all dried off we went to our last broadway show ( which wasn’t a surprise this time) called shucked, the music was awesome and it was super funny so I’m hoping it will come to Melbourne so I can watch it again. After the pouring rain we took a walk over to the big Christmas tree and took photos because there weren’t that many people there because of the rain.

On our last day in New York Mum and Dad got up super early to line up again for Jimmy Falon, this time they got tickets which they would use at 8:00 that night. Then they went to a Modern art Museum and finally got into jimmy Falon. They said it was very good and they loved it. They even got to high five him and Mum said he had smooth hands and Dad said they smelled like gravy. New York was awesome. My first thoughts were that I didn’t like it much but I realised it grows on you. It was very bright and had lot of action and stuff going on. Next time I would want to go to the 9, 11 Memorial and go to the top of the Empire State Building.Read more
