Our third day in New york and its time to go sightseeing, the last time we came here we jump on a open top tour bus so we decided to do the same again. You get to see the whole of New York on this bus and it allows you to get off the bus at any stop and explore all the exciting attractions. We left the bus at downtown Manhatthan and exlpored the finanicial district, this is were ground zero is, the area around where the trade centres were is so so quiet and very moving, we only read the boards about the timeline of the twin towers then we moved on to Century 21 which is a department store that sells cheap clothes from last season. I had already spent quite a bit so i skipped on the purchasing! After our brief shopping spree we headed towards the south heliport where we were booked for a helicopter flights, after a ten minute walk we were told by some guy that the heli-port is closed so we had to head for the north heli-port. On the map the distance didn't look too far so we thought we'd walk it, how wrong could we be???!!!! The port was at least 7 miles walk and it was very cold walking along the Hudson river and after a while my feet started to hurt, :-( Still the flight was amazing and because of the long walk the sun had set and the city lights were on, definitely something to remember. After the long walk and achy feet we headed back to hotel............i was pleased about that!
