Because of our vacation in 2014 we didn't get a direct flight to Orlando. Therefore we had to change the plane in New York and there was the opportunity to stay in New York for 3 days at no additional charge. And so we took a closer look at the big city that never sleeps.
In 8.5 hours we arrived New York by the largest commercial aircraft in the world, a new Airbus A380.
Dorothea booked a hotel right in downtown Manhattan. So at the first evening we took a look at Time Square.
Today we are going to see the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. After a good breakfast, we made our way along the east bank of the Hudson River to the Battery Park. From here the ferry continued to Liberty Island. The Liberty Statue is 93 m high and one of the most famous buildings in the world. if you register early you can go up to the crown.
Artists are part of many streets in New York.
After these impressions we went to the Empire State Building in the afternoon. This time we took a taxi.
There were so many people that we had to wait more than 2 hours before we reached the top of the building.
But then: clear skys, no clouds, a amazing view over New York from a height of 360 m,. A uncrediable look down to the streets and all the cars. That was pure goosebumps feeling. We will never forget that.
Now we come to the next day: Madama Tousendes was only a few minutes' walk from our hotel. This is the home of many famous stars. It’s just amazing. They look like the original. The only difference. They all are wax figures.
The next attraction was the Rockfeller Center. Here is a large golden Prometheus sculpture. In the front you can skate in the winter months and enjoy ice cream in the summer. During the Christmas season, the Rockefeller Center shines in a brilliant light. The large, decorated Christmas tree is on the square in front of the building every Christmas.
Central Park is 4 km long and 860 m wide. With its ponds and old trees, it is a green recreation area in the middle of New York. Dorothea always had a dream: a horse drawn carriage ride in New York through Central Park. Today was the day her dream came true.
This is the Plaza Hotel, a location for famous films such as "Kevin, alone in New York". And this is where our trip to New York ended. The next day we reached the connecting flight to Orlando, where our normal vacation began.
