New York - Day One - still more.

Yes, we're still going. Our feet hurt and our backs hurt but we'd had a great day and were almost back to the hotel.

We wandered down Broadway, past more awesome buildings.


Past Wall St. which was more of a laneway, than a street. It's actually named for the boundary wall from the New Amsterdam settlement in 1640.


Past the crowd gathered around the Charging Bull on the Bowling Green Park in the middle of the road.


With one chap intent on making the Bull wince.


And back into the hotel. We shed bags and cameras, bandaged feet, changed shoes and wandered back out to find some dinner. The cloud had lifted slightly and the sun was lighting up the buildings opposite the hotel.


We found a reasonably good restaurant that accepted two weary travellers and ate some pasta to stock up on carbs for the next day. We had a seat overlooking the statue and had fun watching everyone enjoying the foreshore.


This is Governors Island with a couple of old forts on the foreshore.


This guy had obviously ridden a bit too hard ... or he was enjoying the grass.


There was an interesting sculpture.


They were eyes.


We wandered back around the foreshore, looking at the buildings.


And the park.


There was a building across Battery park from the hotel, that was lit up as though the flagpole was dividing it.


And last but not least, we said goodnight to the statue.
