Lots of walking, seriously so much walking


Beautiful weather today, clear blue skies all day. We started the morning visiting the 9/11 memorial. Its a fantastic monument to those who lost their lives and to those that survived. It will be an impressive site when all the new buildings are finished.

We spent the rest of the day walking round much of Manhattan island. Through Soho and Tribeca, Greenwich Village, up to Union Square and Grand Central Station. Then round the Chrysler building, onto the UN and back to 5th avenue and Central Park. Somehow Lloyd managed to guide us to 3 Apple stores en route. The conclusion is that they are very similar even if though they look very cool from the outside.

This evening we went for sushi near the Rockefeller Plaza then headed up the Top of the Rock to see the night time views. Its amazing on such a clear night and definitely worth doing in the evening. On the way back we took a slight detour to Times Square lit up in all its neon glory, and made it onto one of the big screens. A pretty amazing day all round, lets hope the weather holds up.
