New York - Day Two

We got up the next day, bandaged our feet and caught the subway up to Central Park. The subway map is here. We hopped on the green line at the bottom of the island at the Bowling Green station and went up to 86th street, halfway up Central Park.

We walked the 3 long blocks across to Central Park and found that we had entered just below the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

On the left is the pumphouse at the south end of the reservoir. ('B' on the map) There are two of them and they are "Manhattan schist with granite facings", so now you know.

Here's a map of our wanderings.

We limped up to the south end as out feet had noticed that we were walking again and had sent a delegation to register their complaint. We stopped and rested against the fence and spotted a bumble bee on the flowers behind the fence.


I also shot a panorama of the reservoir from the north end.


There was also a tortoise.


We walked down the west side of the park, the buildings were poking through




There were also some cute garden settings tucked in the park.


We came into Colombus Circle at the south west corner of the park and realise that the Trump Tower was next to us.


On the park corner is a memorial to the USS Maine.


On the opposite corner was the Time Warner centre where we stopped and had some lunch at Bouchon Bakery.
