      New york Nu. 2

      December 9, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      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.

      New York Nu.1

      December 6, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

      We had to wake up at 5:00 in Canada to catch our bus that left at 9:00. Luckily we didn’t have to walk there but Jen drove us. The Bus trip was 11 hours, one of our longest yet. By the end I was super stiff everywhere in my body. It didn’t help that the bus driver put the heat on full blast while we were all in winter cloths and kept stopping to stretch his legs every 25 minutes. We finally got to New York and walked to our apartment on 45th Street. New York was pretty cool on first impressions and super busy.

      On our first day in New York we all slept in because we were completely exhausted from the day of bus travel yesterday. We went out into the city and saw Lincoln Centre with the massive Christmas Tree and ice skating, and Grand Central station. It was cool because we had seen so many movies set in New York and we could recognise all the places. We also got to see Times Square which was very bright. Then we went to see “The Rockett’s” Christmas dance thing at Radio City Hall which was very cool. It was a massive theatre. Then we got some New York pizza and went up to our apartment.

      On our second day in New York we intended to walk to the ferry to then get to the Statue of Liberty but then realised it was a much longer walk then we originally expected, so we decided to take the subway the next day and look around that side of town today. We saw the “Ghost Busters” fire station, and looked around a really pretty side of town. That night Dad surprised the three of us and took us to a broadway show called Kimberly AKimbo which was very good and we loved it.

      Central Station New Yorks Bahnhof

      May 6 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Für heute haben wir eine Führung durch der New Yorker Hauptbahnhof Grand Central Station gebucht. Also war wieder U- Bahnfahren angesagt. Diese Führung war sehr interessant, aber auch anstrengend.
      Mit der Metro fuhren wir am Nachmittag wieder in den Süden Manhattans, um mit der Fähre nach Staten Island zu fahren. So konnten wir diesmal die Freiheitsstatue bei halbwegs guter Sicht in Augenschein nehmen. Nach der Rückfahrt mit Fähre und Metro gab es am Times Square ein schönes Abendessen bei Bubba Gump.

      Grand Central Terminal

      January 22 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

      Lost in the timeless elegance of Grand Central Terminal – where the clock ticks with history and whispers echo a thousand tales. Fun Fact: The iconic celestial mural on the main concourse is actually backward, depicting the stars as they would appear to a higher power. ✨🚂 #GrandCentralMagic #TimelessEleganceRead more

      SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

      May 11 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Nachdem wir unsere Koffer im
      Hotel deponiert haben , düsen wir bei Sonnenschein zu unserer letzten Aussichtsplattform „SUMMIT One Vanderbilt“.

      Einfach atemberaubend. Wir sind fasziniert. Hier, im 93. Stock, hat man mal wieder einen unvergleichlichen Blick auf NYC und wir wissen auch jetzt, warum wir Sonnenbrillen am Eingang bekommen haben. Hier ist einfach alles verglast: die Decke, der Boden und die Wände sind komplett aus Spiegelglas.
      Im nächsten Stockwerk alles voller silberner Ballons die umherschweben. 🙃🤩 Mega cool 😎

    • Day 2

      2e journée, 2e partie

      April 20 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Tout le groupe est à l’heure au point de rencontre. Jusqu’à maintenant, ils sont très ponctuels. Nous empruntons la 34e rue vers l’est pour nous rendre jusqu’à Madison. De la nous tournons vers le nord jusqu’à la 42e ou nous tournons à droite pour rejoindre Grand Central. Ça nous prend 17 minutes.

      On entre dans la gare, nous passons tout de suite par la Whispering Gallery. Il y a déjà un groupe qui tente l’expérience donc je continue. On traverse la place principale avec son toit vert représentant le voute céleste et sa tuile brune sale dans le coin nord-ouest pour démontrer à quel point les trains au charbon pouvaient salir le tout.

      Nous arrivons au Summit One Vanderbilt. Le commentaire général c’est que c’est long. Les groupes attendent en même temps que les usagers normaux (à Rockefeller et au One World Trade Center, nous passons devant). Ensuite, il y a plein de stops pour prendre des photos qu’ils vont ensuite tenter de nous vendre. Nous les avons tous skipés, mais nous attendions quand même que tout le monde en avant de nous les fasse.

      Ensuite, ils ont fait monter le groupe dans une dizaine d’ascenceurs en mixant des regular guests parmi nous. Donc nous n’étions pas tous ensemble pour profiter de cette attraction. La seule chose positive est que tout le monde sortait par la même porte.

      Il faut noter, par contre qu’il semblerait que c’est ce que les jeunes ont préféré. Une fois que le groupe est complet, on se rend au point de rencontre avec l’autobus, je donne l’heure du rendez-vous et finalement les jeunes profitent de Time Square.

      Pour notre part, les adultes, on se rend au Olive Garden pour un bon repas. Nous prenons des calmars et des fettucini au poulet ou aux crevettes. C’est sublime comme toujours!

      En sortant, je me rends compte que quand c’est le 7-8e fois que tu vas à Time Square, tu y passes, tu checks un peu, tu prends des photos pour en garder une preuve et tu vas ailleurs. Je me souviens, l’an passé en décembre avant Noël, je ne m’y étais même pas aventuré parce qu’il y avait trop de monde.

      On retourne au point de rencontre. Tout le monde est encore à l’heure. Ils ont la tête remplie de souvenirs, les yeux brillants et les jambes comme de la guenille. Ils n’auront pas de soucis à dormir ce soir.
