Day 15
Up pretty early and straight into it.
Short walk to the subway again and all the way down to battery park. We wanted to get some views of the Statue of Liberty without wanting to do it on an official tour any anything like that. So why not tick off another box and take the Staten Island Ferry.
Waited about 5 minutes for the next ferry and then climbed aboard. Its fair to say the views across the bay were stunning.
Ellis Island
There she is!
25 Minutes later and we were pulling in to the terminal at Staten Island. Hopped off and went for a short walk around the shore line.
Staten Island 9-11 Memorial
Manhattan views from Staten Island
We had plenty more walking planned for the day so chose not to look much further around Staten Island. Back to the ferry, straight on and 25 minutes later we were back we we started at battery park.
