Day 43 - New York

Huge sleep in today!! We were all exhausted!! By the time we got up and organised it was after 12pm before we got out of the room! Walked down to the corner, a quick stop for a pic with the Hope sign and then on to the Subway to head to the World Trade Center. First trip on the Subway too!

Went to the 9-11 Tribute Museum first. Spent a couple of hours wandering around the museum and reading/watching/listening to stories or actual footage of the day. It was really quite emotional. We got to listen to Adrian Pearce, one of the survivors,  talk about her experience that day. It's hard to imagine what it must have been like for those people who were there.
 

Had a quick look at Century 21 after it being recommended for bargains but we were very restrained. Caitlin was horrified after she realised the jacket she liked was made from rabbit fur!

Walked over to the memorial and spent some time at the north and south reflection pools. Felt really sad, it was all just so pointless.
  

 

Caught the Subway back to 42nd street and walked back through Times Square. There were lots of interesting people and characters about in various states of undress!!

Went to Tonic and had another yummy dinner while watching the baseball and other sports on the TVs. That and free wifi keeps all the kids occupied!
 
Back to the room and finally enjoying the bottle of red that Saverina gave us in Canada!!
