New York

We started out with a boat trip around the bay seeing Elis Island, Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge. We had another great guide that was 100% gusto for a full hour, but not in a cheesy annoying way. He gave us some great information including the fact the Brooklyn Bridge was built by the worlds first female Civil Engineer, her husband designed it and when he died she took over.

We then enjoyed some minuture golf, and Christopher got a hole in one from this shot through the windmill!
We went to the Guggenheim museum which was a fantastic building but we were not impressed by the exhibition There is no rant, it just didn't speak to me, or Fiona, or - presumably - the woman who we discovered asleep in one of the seating areas either .
Then we wandered through Central Park, which was huge and also full of people on a sunny Sunday, but we found a shady spot to relax in.
