Hello! Well today has been a reasonably lazy day as we are very tired from all our sight seeing! Yesterday however was very busy! We travelled first to the Brooklyn Bridge which was really cool. So we can now say we have been on it! We only walked half way across it becuase it is very long! Plus we had to get back for our Trade Centre tour. The tour last about 2 hours and we saw where the towers used to be and what is being built in replacement. Some amazing new sky scrapers are being put up which look incredible and waterfalls are being put in place of the twin towers. On the tour we learnt about the heros of that day and how it affected the city. It was very sad but also very informative as the tour was done by a guy who lives in the area. The downside of the tour was that it was extremely cold and most of the tour was outside.
We had something a little more cheery to look forward to after that though as we were off to the Knicks game:) We arrived and it was totally mobbed and you had to shuffle for ages just to get in! Our seats were amazing!! I thought they were going to be pretty rubbish as we only paid about 50 pounds. I had been joking about having to watch it on the big screens but not once did i have to do that! The only downside was we were in the front row just before the bit where you walk to go to the toilet etc. so people were walking infront quite a bit. That didn't spoil it though! The game was really good but sadly the Knicks lost:( However it was so exciting as it was down to the last seconds to decide who was going to win. The walk home was a bit of a nightmare as Times Square is not fun when it is as busy as that!
Not sure what we are up to tomorrow but we are going to Niagra Falls on Monday so we are excited about that and will update on how it was! We are supposed to tip the tour guide and driver $6 each per day!! Which i think is outrageous so we will see how that goes...
Love Kathleen and Daniel xxx
