Oh why did we stay out til 3am? The alarm was set for 6.30 as we have a 9am booking for Crown access to the Statue of Liberty. Thank goodness I could cook myself some eggs and tomato for breakfast and didn't have to go in search of nourishment! Another freezing day so we rugged up as best we could and headed out to walk to Battery Park. It's only about a 10 minute walk but that wind! We made it down there by 8.30, I'm always way too early for things ...

She rang as she left home so we could work out where to meet so she wouldn...

So if you've read yesterday's entry you'll know we were rather late to bed..... I would have loved to sleep til noon but we are moving to a the D at Fremont Street so when I woke up at 8.30am I bounced out of bed ( ok I didn't actually bounce but considering the night we'd had I was amazingly spritely, probably due in no small part to the pizza I'd bought and the water our fab barman kept giving me to soak up the wine! ).  Once we were a...
