You can read Day 1 of my NYC trip on this link: https://made-beautifully.blogspot.sg/2017/02/new-york-city-holiday-fall-holiday-day-1.html
Mexican breakfast before I headed to Liberty and it's gonna be a long day! This breakfast was yummy but expensive, first and last having USD20 per breakfast, next day onwards, it's gonna be McDonald's breakfast, nice & cheap!
NYC Street
At the subway
49 Street Subway, NYC Subway station is not as clean as I was expected but I respect the punctuality, good subway system and smooth journey!
STATUE OF LIBERTY!
How to get there?
South Ferry Terminal. Highlights: view from the crown, Statue of Liberty museum, fort wood, the star shape pedestal base, her centenary flame. Visit to the crown must be reserved in advance at www.statuecruises.com
Address: Liberty Island
Daily: 9.30-5
Train/subway metro station: 4,5 bowling green, 1 south ferry then take ferry
Taking Ferry to visit the must to see Statue of Liberty! Beautiful sunny day & beautiful scenery!
Can't exactly remember how much it did cost to take the Ferry but I would say it's pretty pricey, around USD20 or more per person! which included the story of Liberty in the ferry!
Blue sky and cold strong wind!
Cold but can't miss selfie of course! lol!
Enjoying the beautiful scenery!
I can see Liberty from the Ferry already!
Another selfie
Finally reached! Totally not easy and let's say if I brought my 2 kids, aged 3 & 2 or if I were expecting, I wouldn't go or bring them to Statue of Liberty because the queue to buy the ferry ticket was super long about half an hour and the queue to the ferry terminal was about 1 hour and after I reached ferry terminal, I had to go through security check just like in the airport and oh yeah the security was pretty strict too. Finally another hour of queue to get into the Ferry! With less than 30 minutes of ferry journey, imagine the hassle and long queue I had to go through. Oh yeah another long queue to go back to the terminal after witnessing the magical Liberty! Not sure the long queue was because of the nice holiday season or it's always crowded all the time! Sharing this, so you know what to expect! Btw, tickets to enter the Liberty & its crown were all sold out (I guess it's like if you want to learn more about USA history), so the best thing I could do was to walk around and take pictures! That's it! The experience counts I guess!
Exceptionally beautiful sunny day with blue sky!
with dearest husband :)
No reason not to take more photos since I don't know when will I be back again!
Nice shot by hubby :)
Really a nice island for good walk!
Sparkling diamonds in the water! Wonderful!
And back to NYC again! the subway is somehow really nice background for selfie or an OOTD, lol!
