New York, day 2








On day 2 we took the ferry from our camping area (more of a parking lot at the ferry terminal) to Wall St. From there we took the subway to Central Park. We had a great time at FAO Schwarz. They even have gigantic stuffed zoo animals and dragons for sale for several 1000 dollars. As you can see we found that giant piano (remember it in the movie 'Big'? Why does everything I say lately have a movie reference?). The Harry Potter characters the kids are posing with are lego, they also had life-sized Darth Vadar and Chewy.

In Central Park we took a horse and carriage ride and then went to the Central Park Zoo. They have a great rainforest room there, warm and misty with wonderful birds. With tired legs we returned to our motorhome. Just getting to and from these adventures was an adventure: walking around the city, the ferry and of course the subway system, all very educational.

Hi Robyn, how are you? We love hearing from you.
Yes, I think Kyra was a little wary of the soldier!
The piano was awesome! It played beautifully, we could have run around on it all day (great exercise), but others were waiting for a turn. Now we know how much fun Tom Hanks was having! haha.
I hope all is well with you, study and party hard!
Cheers.
