We began our day w ith a tour on a double decker bus. An unanticipated stop due to the mechanical break down of our bus left us at Battery Park with a good view of the Statue of LIberty.
While waiting patiently to purchase tickets on a ferry to the Ellis Island, we learned that the wait to get on a ferry would be 1.5 hours and that would be after waiting an hour to purchase those tickets. Many New Yorkers were given Monday July 5 off from work, as July 4 fell on a Sunday and it seems many of those chose to spend there day with Lady Liberty.
We decided instead to use of limited time in New York more wisely, walking the south end of the island and then picking up a tour bus to return to our hotel on Times Square.
My friend Anna and I made a trip to New York City about 1987 and we took the Staten Island Ferry viewing the Statue of Liberty. We also had breakfast in the World Trade Centre. The retaurant was so high up it was scary.
