23rd April 2009 New York Adventure




















Well a busy day today after a bit of a sleep in which we all needed and we caught the subway in again to Times Square which is where we caught the double decker bus from. Of course we had to sit up top and it was minus but the view was awesome so we just had to grin and bear it. The picture which all the cabs was the first one taken - look at them all - taxi anyone!!! Not like our Perth anyway we then went on our Downtown hop on hop off loop which went past the Empire State Building and the World Trade Centre which we got off at. You cant really get the whole picture from the photo attached as it is all fenced off but it is massive the area and we went into The Tribute Memorial which showed pictures and videos and a wall with all the names of the 2700 people that lost their lives - it was really emotional. It was about 4pm and we got back on the bus and returned to Times Square where we got some tickets to a broadway show - Mary Poppins - not the top of my list but you got think of the kids. Prior to the show we went to Planet Holleywood for dinner which was yummy and checked out all the famous memorabilia and Emily was so excited to see clothes worn by people out of Titanic and Twilight and then off we went to the show. We got in there and had mezzanine seats which were brilliant and after about an hour and half the curtain went down - everyone clapped and off we went to get subway home but on the way out the lady asked us "will you be returning tonight" - strange question - we replied "no" - she then informed us that it was only a break - you can see we are seasoned theatre goers!!! Well back in we went laughing our heads off and sat for the second half of the show which was just as good and got out about 11pm.
