Discovery Tour Day 5 New York

In the morning we took a boat tour to and around the Statue of Liberty. Sadly the island was still closed because of the damges caused by huricane Sandy, but we still got very close. Furhtermore we saw the skyline of New York from there especially from Lower Manhatten. In the Harbor is an Air museum where a Space Shuttel and one of the Concorde is to see. It was very nice weather while we had the tour. Then we went to Central Park. Before we entered Central Park, we passed the house John Lennon was shot in front of. Cetral Park was very impressing in my opinion, not the Park by itself was the most impressive part; although it was a very nice Park, it has small hills in it and a huge lake. The more impressive part was the sourounding, it looked soo cool, imagine you are in a Park where it is quiet and the sourounding is filled with tall skyscrapers. Afterwards we went to the UN building and then we took a tour around the NBC studios. We also had another stop at Times Square. The last thing we did in the New York was going over the Brooklyn Bridge at night. It was very cool;-)

Discovery Tour Day 4 New York

Our first stop was at Carlo’s Bake Shop. Supposedly he is a famous confectioner who has a TV show, but I have to admit that I don’t know him. After everybody bought at least one thing we went to Lower Manhatten. Although Lower Manhatten is the part where everything started, it still looks like the newest part of New York City. It is also the part where the Twins Towers were. Today the ONE World Trade Center triumphs over Lower Manhatten. The Tower is still not done, but it is going to be about 550 meters tall. Furthermore, we visited Wall Strett which is also placed in Lower Manhatten. We also stopped at St. Paul’s Chapel; it was right next to the Twins Towers; suprisingly, it was the only undamaged building in the area after 9/11. Later on we stopped in China Town, it’s significantly different from the rest of NY. After China Town we went to Times Square. I can just say one thing about it: AWESOME. It was so incredible especially when it was very dark and everything was lighted up. We had a long time there, part of it was for shopping and the other part for pictures. More shopping more delighted;-)
