Anyone familiar with the myriad hurdles the operator of the Sydney Bridge Climb had to surmount before permission was granted for his venture will find this amusing. There is nothing between people and traffic on this busy bridge yet somehow people don't seem to bring traffic to a halt. Perhaps they do toss things or themselves occasionally but on a sunny day like today, the walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan was spectacular but uneventful.
Tess is editing today's photos as I type so will have some to add later. We did the Brooklyn Tour this morning which left me a little disappointed. My subway ride to Coney Island in 07 was more interesting although the guide did add plenty of information. I'm with the Green acres Gabor - Park Ave is where I'd rather stay!!
We slaked our thirsts at Beekman's Tavern near Fulton, which was too close to a camera store for temptation. We bought the Sony 55-210mm telephoto lens we had priced yesterday at Best Buy so expect some xtreme action shots in coming entries.
We hopped on the Downtown Tour at Seaport to see the remainder of the tour we started yesterday. Another informative guide - mostly off the top of their heads rather than a formal script. Interesting. Traffic was bad so we hopped off at 5th Ave and 59th (?) which is the southern end of Central Park. We wandered through it for a while before descending to the subway at 66th Street - Lincoln Center - and just one stop south of our hotel.
Tonight we head to Time Square for our City Lights tour. Should be good as the rain has gone as the photos should show. Tomorrow brings the Uptown tour and a sunset cruise. Friday will be museums and Saturday we hope to catch up with a NY friend from 07. Sunday morning we meet our Tour and get really busy.
I'll need a holiday when I get home:-(((
