Hi Everyone,
We've had a really good day!
We headed down to Battery Park for 9.30am (when it opened) to get the ferry to Ellis Island/Liberty Island, however when we got there (again, when it opened!) there was already a queue for an 1 and a half. We therefore made a decision to get the Staten Island Ferry instead so we could see the statue of liberty but quicker (and for free!), this was really good!!! We do however feel guilty for not going to Ellis Island (for me... AGAIN!).
After our Staten Island Ferry ride we headed up to Soho so Rob could buy some jeans. We went into Dean and Deluca to get some lunch. I got a ham and brie sandwich and Rob got cajun chicken pasta. They were both really nice. We headed over to the Spring Street playground to eat these which was really nice. After this we ACTUALLY managed to get some jeans! Finally!!! We then went to Bloomie's to get my mum some stuff (she got a free bag!!!).
After this we headed up to the washington square park area to get some stuff in American Apparel for Rob. We wandered through the hub of NYU. I got a voucher for free coffee in starbucks - which we then promptly used, I got really sad in Starbucks cause I realised that the trip was ending... don't know why this happened in Starbucks but there you go! lol! After this we headed up to the Upper West Side to look for Steak Knives for my dad, we tried three places and couldn't find them so had to give up on that one.
After this we headed into Time Square so Rob could go to the trashy souvenir shops. We had a look in Toys 'R' Us and in the MTV store (I really wanted the 'Team Lauren' shirt!!!). After we had had enough of Time Square... Quickly! We headed over to Little Italy again, we decided to have our final dinner meal of the trip (except the 'lovely' plane food) in Lombardi's. Yes, I know this was the second time, but you have nooooo idea how good it is! lol! This was really really lovely!
We then headed (our very full selves) back to the hostel and packed our bags... which took ages! lol!
Tomorrow we are checking out of the hostel around 12 noon and having lunch in a cafe next door. We are headed for the airport around 3ish, our flight is at 7pm!
Sooooo weird!
I hope everyone is fab!
Lots of Love,
Sarah xxx
