We got up at 4.30 a.m. to get our spot for sail in to New York. There was a definite buzz in the air as we stood on Deck 14 and approached the skyline on this incredible city. As we came into sight of The Statue of Liberty it was another surreal moment, it gave us goose bumps. It's a moment we won't forget. We sailed up the Hudson River towards our docking place. Technically we ate breakfast on the Hudson aboard our luxury boat! We had a few places we really wanted to see but decided to be flexible as we will come back one day.
So off we set around 8 a.m., first stop was Time Square. It took us about 30 minutes (10 mins to actually get out of the pier), we could see up ahead the buildings began to get taller and the noise of traffic was getting louder. Lots of people trying to sell the Hop on Bus Tours at every corner but in hindsight we are glad we didn't take one as we would have missed just the buzz in the city. Suddenly we were in Time Square...as it was Sunday it was quite quiet....4 hours later and WOW.
