Jess' route today:

Thanks for the post Lee..hehe, it made me smile - no idea how you put the map on there though, you're making my posts look quite plain..tut.

I've been a busy bee again today. I walked to 9th Avenue, down to 42nd Street and then over to 12th Avenue and the Hudson River to catch the Circle Line Ferry - it was 75 mins and went out to the Statue of Liberty again... I thought it did a bigger circle than that, but it came with my 3 day touring pass so I got my monies worth.

Back on dry land again at 12 I walked back along 42nd Street to 8th Avenue and got on the uptown tour to Columbus Circle, Central Park, Harlem, and the upper West and East sides. I got off at Strawberry Fields to see the John Lennon 'Imagine' disc on the floor and eat my lunch - a salad box - and then got back on the tour, went past the Apollo Theatre - everyone was playing Michael Jackson music in the cars and there was crowds outside the theatre to celebrate his life.

The tour then started down the Museum mile, and the only one I stopped at was the City of NY museum (which also came free with my pass :-)

It's now 5:30 and I've been on the move since 9am - every day I get back about this time and crash, but tonight I'm going on the night tour at 8 so I can see the city all lit up with lights - should be ace!!

Tomorrow is my last day here and I'm not sure what I want to do yet... any suggestions?

Check out the Solow building at your end of Central Park... then walk the entire length of Central Park, then see the friends apartment at the corner of Grove & Bedford in Greenwich Village! x
