We started the day by trying a new place for breakfast
before heading out to once again take the wonderful hop-on/off tourist bus on a
different route to do the Bronx tour. We have really been able to make the most
of our 3 day pass with this company, completing the Downtown tour, the Uptown
and Harlem tour, the night tour and the Liberty cruise before today’s Bronx
tour. We have been able to see all the iconic places New York is known for like
the Empire State Building, the Chrysler building, 5th Avenue, Times Square, Broadway,
Maddison Square garden, World Trade centre etc. Following our bus tour, Rob,
Heather and myself hopped on another bus and headed for Central Park. Paul
needed some rest time and so he headed back to their accommodation. The 3 of us
enjoyed a long walk through Central Park and checked out some of the iconic
areas, like Strawberry Fields dedicated to John Lennon, the Bow Bridge (from
You’ve Got Mail) etc. After walking through Central Park we arrived at the
Museum of the City of New York. Entrance to this museum was included in our
hop-on bus ticket so in we went. It was an excellent museum mainly dedicated to
the history of New York City from 1609 to today. Many interactive displays were
scattered over the 3 levels and once again we could have spent a lot longer
there if time had allowed. We returned to our accommodation to prepare for a
night out at a theatre, in fact the theatre that is directly across the road
from our accommodation and just happens to be showing the musical, “Kinky
Boots.” We all thoroughly enjoyed the show!
