Our 2nd day in the Big Apple was a very early start. Trina didn't get back to the hotel till 5:00am from being out all night drinking she was supposed to get up at 6:00am to watch the State of Origin with Bec. But Bec was kind enough to let her sleep till 7am. We headed to the Statue of Liberty early to beat the crowds. We caught the ferry over and got great views of the city skyline. We didn't get to go up to the top as there were massive queues but the views from the bottom were amazing anyway. After that we walked down wall street and got to see the famous raging bull. We then headed to a half price ticket booth for Broadway shows, we were lucky enough to get tickets to The Phantom of the Opera for that night. On our way to our Sex and The City tour we went to a shop called Century 21 which had really cheap designer everything. We didn't have enough time to go through everything, Bec got a really nice Guess bag for half price. The Sex and The City tour wasn't very good at all. There were lots of things we didn't get to see, like where Carrie lived and we didn't go to any of the bars they went to in the show. We were more excited about going to Broadway. The show and costumes were amazing. We had really good seats down in the bottom section. It was great to see a broadway show in New York.
On our last day, we went on a bike tour around central park. We are so glad we didn't have to walk it as we didn't realise how huge it was. The park was really beautiful, it's hard to imagine something like that exists in New York, there was a massive dam in the middle of it and had baseball fields in it. The pathways were lined with massive trees that arched over the paths. After the bike ride we were walking to the American History Musuem when we walked passed a little church where they were setting up to film Gossip Girl. Was very cool to see the street lined with the actors trailers and all the equipment. We did a very quick walk around the musuem as all we really wanted to see were the exhibits that were shown in the movie Night at the Musuem. We did get to see most of them which was really exciting. We headed back to shop at Century 21 seeing as though we didn't get to see all of it the day before. We got great bargains, with all Trina bought she saved $182, Bec ended up saving $82, can't go wrong with that. That night we headed up the Empire State Building, the views were amazing. It was very pretty to see New York at night from up there. We got some great photos and footage. If you want to see some photos, Bec will put some up on her facebook page. We had some farewell drinks with some people from the Grand Southern tour, then headed back to the hotel to pack for our next tour.
