Sat 14 April 2007 LADY LIBERTY

We finally got a decent day in New York so made the most of it and caught a train over to Brooklyn (as in Taft St or Beckam's son whichever you identify with most). We walked over the bridge back to Manhattan and it was really nice. Great views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. We started to get the hang of the subway and made our way up to the Empire State Bldg which is amazing since you get 360 degrees view of the city. William finished work at 6:30 so we met up with him and went down to Chinatown to a yummy cheap restaurant (see it's who you know in this town) and then we all took a ride over to Staten Is and back (late night!) but we had amazing views again of Lady Liberty and Manhattan as we came back in the evening. Again a very late night so hopefully the kids will sleep all the way home or they won't make school on time!!! They all prefer New York (even in comparison to Disneyland) and I guess like Muzz and I are caught up in the vibrancy of it all - there's something always happening.
