A late start to the day after our delay yesterday but we left our lovely hotel at eleven and made our way to Battery Park to catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. To say it is cold is to completely understate just how freezing it is today (-16) and the wind really adds to the chill factor. It is so cold in fact that several phones temporarily stopped working!
After the visit there, we walked to the 9/11 memorial which has changed so much since last year. You can now just walk into the area as the fencing and security has been removed. A sobering moment and time for reflection.
We are now waiting to ice skate in Central Park - we thought that we might as well get all the ice out of the way in one go. Hot chocolates all round!
