For those who heard about the 4.8 magnitude earthquake this morning we're fine. We heard about it but felt nothing while walking around downtown NYC.
Flatiron under repair.
The Flatiron (Flat iron) is a triangular 22 story, 285 foot tall building which was built in 1902. The name comes from it's triangular shape which looks like an old cast iron clothes iron.
Our 2nd stop was at the One World/World Trade Centre area.
Lots of food vendors.
The Oculus.
Memorial pool where the twin Towers once stood.
This pool was being repaired.
The Oculus from a distance.
There was no description of this sculpture.
Freezing on the open top double decker bus but there were no other seats left.
Hudson River area.
The queue to go into the museum was 6 deep so we decided not to go in. The wind was icy cold and we had limited time to get back on the bus.
If you look closely you will see us in Australia.
The vessel.
We had an hour or 2 off and then did a night tour. We rugged up and sat up the top of the bus again but this time it had a plastic roof to stop most of the cold wind.
Should have had a warning about having squillions of photos.
Today's top temperature was 9°c.
We walked 10kms.
