Day: June 4, 2011

Really good day 🙂 Apart from the time we had to spend this morning searching for somewhere reasonable to stay in Boston, we’ve had a lovely time. We went on a bus tour of Brooklyn, stopping to get a genu-wine slice of Eye-talian pizza, then walked back over the Brooklyn bridge. That big yellow thing Katherine is stuffing her face with is a whole mango on a stick, which is possibly the most awesome thing we’ve eaten here! Not really NY food, but there it is.

We went to the Met in the evening and saw the Alexander McQueen exhibition. Katherine loved it, and I didn’t mind it, so a roaring success 😛 Couldn’t take any photos in there, but there was also some Tiffany stained glass which was very impressive, so here’s some of that instead.

Then we went to the rooftop garden and had a drink. Didn’t realise we’d jumped the whole queue until we were at the bar. Oops.

Very, very windy and surprisingly cold, but a great view at sunset of the lights starting to come on downtown. Forgot to take a good photo for the blog though, so you’ll have to make do with this one of Katherine instead 🙂

Well, what can I say? Katherine was so unimpressed that she didn’t even want to get off the boat! The thought of having to queue in the baking sun just to get back on was too much for her, so we sailed right by both the Statue and Ellis Island. Nevermind – they do say that the best views of it are from the water 😛

Did this on Wednesday night – great view! There was a storm brewing to the east too which looked amazing, but I couldn’t snap it in action.

Oh, we also went for a bus tour and got mild heat stroke, so we ended up sleeping a lot of the afternoon :-S
