2nd full day at sea and after being in bed for the last 24+ hours we were awake bright eyed and bushy tailed by 5 am.... Well perhaps not so bright eyed because once again neither of us had a fabulous nights sleep as the ship was still rolling a bit and the constant knocking in the wall was so loud! Thank goodness we have a coffee maker in the room and were able to have a cup of tea while we planned our day using the ever helpful Daily "what's happening" guid...

We had asked reception to order a cab for 9.45 as I had selected the 10 to 10.30 checkin time for our cruise. We were awake well before the alarm went off....as usual!

I had wanted to take the East river ferry over to Brooklyn to see Janes carousel then walk back to Manhattan over the Brooklyn bridge as last ...

We started the day bright and early, once again cooking up some eggs and tomato...... In fact Rodd cooked as he was awake really really early since he'd slept on and off all afternoon yesterday and then all night so I was lucky enough to get breakfast served to me in bed!By 9.30 we'd walked the 10 minutes needed to get us to One World, the new World Trade building.
