Trip Over to New York

Exploring the Big Apple

Manhattan Island, the smallest of the five boroughs of New York, and the most densely populated. Having a comfortable, almost European feel to it, we were right at home there. It has come a long way since the Dutch bought the land from the native Americans calling it New Amsterdam, before the English took over and renaming it New York. Now it is a vibrant, happening place moving at a fast pace that you can’t help but to fall into step with…………it has it all, and does it well.

Leaving 42nd Street Pier
Trip Over to New York
Circumnavigating Manhattan

Taking up our positions outside on the upper deck in seats at the back of the boat, it was absolutely freezing, but that was the best place for taking photos. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, the wind chill certainly made us wonder what we were doing on a boat. Read more……………..

Gracie Mansion Garden & Hell Gate Bridge
Trip Over to New York
From Gracie to Guggenheim

Gracie Mansion sits majestically looking over the East River in the top end of Carl Schurz Park on East End Ave at the end of 88th Street. Home to the New York City Mayor, should he choose to live there. Fortunately for us, Mayor Bloomberg chose not to. Read more……………..

Between down pours, Tunks Psrk continued to fill with water. Lucky someone thought to put the "Ground Closed" sign in the middle of the cricket ground 🤣 I think anyone who turned up to play would have realised after wading through knee deep water on to the sodden grass that it wouldn`t work out!😂

I was surprised to find out this is a private home, known as Holme, in London`s Regent`s Park. And, it has just gone on the market for a cool £250 million, its got 40 bedrooms, so perfect for the average family!!

The Endeavour at the National Maritime Museum of Australia. It`s a replica, but a very good one. You can go onboard and take a look around - all those ropes, how did they cope?

After catching the ferry across the Harbour to Barangaroo, we walked around the waterfront and over Pyrmont Bridge to the Australian National Maritime Museum. Went onboard the battle ship, the submarine and the replica of the Endeavour, walked all through the Museum, saw the Lego exhibition, had lunch in the cafe......

Westminster Bridge leading to the Elizabeth Tower across The Thames in London. Having spent all my life calling this tower Big Ben, it takes a bit of getting used to, calling it the Elizabeth Tower. Even though we always knew Big Ben was the bell......

That`s how you design a gate!!!
These gates at Regents Park in London, were made in 1935, during the reign of George V.
