New York

Approaching New York early morning, you can just see the Statue of Liberty in the background.

Great sights all over the place, too many to post here. But have just selected a few things that appealed to me.
We visited lots of Museums and Art Galleries and did a bit of shopping. The weather was very, very hot and so anywhere that had AC was worth a visit!

Motoring up the Hudson River, we saw this huge cage thing. Then realized that it was a net around a football pitch on the shore!









This is part of the 'High Line Park' in Manhattan's Westside. It was previously a train track, built 30ft above the ground to keep the noise level down. When under a demolition order, someone had the bright idea to make it into a park. It is beautiful and popular walk in amongst very naturalistic planting.


Multi-storey car parking here, space is just so expensive!





Times Square is always busy in the evenings, lots of buzz and lots to see. Our favourite restaurant is on one of the corners and we can sit and watch the people go by there.



The last in New York, sitting on the deck with a cool Gin and Tonic in hand against this fabulous backdrop.
It was 43.9C that last day and we shall be glad to move north to some cooler weather.
