... a lot of the other passengers on the top decks to watch us sail into the New York Harbor with our final destination of Cape Liberty NJ.  It was very humid and everything on the decks was soggy and wet.  The Statue Of Liberty was straight ahead of us ...

... course before we’d finished the first but in the end it worked out well because we were running a little late to get to Liberty.   I booked our tickets up to the Crown of the Statue of Liberty about four months ago and even then they were all ...

... ), it was just a short trip to Liberty Island. The view of Manhattan was pretty spectacular, and although impressive the Statue of Liberty doesn't actually look as big as they make it look on TV. Though it is just as green and still pretty amazing. So ...

La giornata è uggiosa, ma ciononostante decidiamo di visitare Liberty Island (la nostra settimana si sta per esaurire e non possiamo certo permetterci di attendere il sole....in inverno tra l'altro). Prendiamo la metropolitana e dopo circa 40 minuti ...
