Day 5 - Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building

So it turns out that that sun rises at 5 am in New York... Definitely a valuable lesson learn't after leaving the blinds open overnight haha! We ended up leaving the hotel at 7 am to go and pick up our city passes, only to find that the ticket booth didn't open until 9 am... We were really off to a smooth start.

We all decided that we should go in search for a diner so that we could try an American breakfast.. We tried a small one that was just around the corner from the hotel, the most expensive meal for breakfast was no more then $7! I had to stop halfway through to take a breather it was that big haha!

After catching a yellow taxi from the ticket booth, we arrived at the loading point for the Liberty Island ferry! After having a quick gander around the island and taking numerous amounts of photos, we decided that it was time to unleash the Morph! Thanks to Security supervisor David Denham, we had recived the go ahead to morph up and not be arrested whilst doing it haha! The only problem was, that the nearest toilets to the photo point were at least 200m away... Many strange looks and photo requests later, we finally started to take our own photos, and in saying that, the Statue of Liberty had been morphed!

After a tour of the 9/11 memorial we went back to the hotel to get changed and head out for the Empire State Building tour.. That was definitely a highlight! It was so high up! We had a look around the observation deck on the 86th floor and took lots of photo's and saw how big and bright the Big Apple really is at night! We then stopped into a Dallas BBQ joint for dinner at 1am (it's really is the city that never sleeps!) and called it quits looking forward to the Baseball game that was in store for us the next day...
