Julie's early morning jog gave an opportunity for some great views of Central Park but it wasn't all good for her when she fell over a wayward fence post on a shaded path while in the park. She took a bit of skin off which required some repairs and liberal swabbing with alcohol wipes. Luckily there were no breaks or sprains!!!!
We packed & left by 11.30am.
Rather than take the direct route (what's new) we decided to take the opportunity to vary our methods of transport to leave New York.Getting out of Manhattan was OK but slow and as we wound our way along Long Island we realised that it is aptly named. It's long!! It was fairly quiet when we were driving through the farmland and wineries but it looked like weekends would be busy.
We arrived just in time to catch the Cross Sound Ferry. https://www.longislandferry.com/Common/Help.aspx?page=connect
The 90 minutes on the ferry gave us a nice easy time to reflect on five days and four nights in Manhattan. On reflection...
- We didn’t realise just how friendly and helpful New Yorker’s would be.
- We didn’t realise how easy and inexpensive transport by cab and subway would be.
- We didn’t realise how much WOW there is in and around Broadway.
- We didn’t realise that you could drive into and out of New York, if you are a good driver and have a GPS.
We do realise, however, that five days is not nearly enough for the Big Apple. Hmmmmm maybe another place for house swap!!!
Da, da, da, de da New York, New York……
