We woke in the cabin after a good nights sleep, we got up ready to go to the zoo, so we were showered early. The zoo was on the edge of Philly, so the drive wasn't too bad. We arrived and there was kids everywhere, luckily they were on the way back to school. We went in and the first thing we saw were some endangered bats, I don't think I've ever seen bats in a zoo in fairness, so that was quite interesting. They also had vampire bats with bowls of what looked li...

After waking up, we got our free breakfast and got ready to leave, we were heading down the coast to Philadelphia. We were hoping to get to the Rocky Statue at the Art Museum and so we set off for our short drive at around 11:30. By the time we had reached Philadelphia, we found out about the NFL draft and that it was going on during our stay, which severely limited access to the museum, however we were told we could still get to the statue. We went into Philadel...

Today, we got a ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, where the immigration station is located.

We had to go across town to South Ferry, right on the docks where batter...

Today, we had another free hotel breakfast, which I was now taking as an excuse to stock up for the day. 4 plates this morning I think. Regular cups of tea was becoming a real treat too. We again got our regular taxi to the station and ticket to New York, with the train busy as ever. It was becoming a routine now, and I was still excited to go to New York, there is so much going on, it's a place we have both said we could easily live in. Today, we were going to b...

Today, we were venturing into NYC again, but today instead of just shopping, we were going to tackle the Empire State Building. Once again, we got the train into New York and set about finding someone to sell us tickets, which did not take long at all. So we both bought a flex pass, which would enable us to do 2 of the many attractions in New York. It was raining, so we made our way to the Empire State Building on foot under cover of different shops and various s...
