The trip to Statue of Libert was successful, we took the ferry and had lunch on Liberty Island, took some pictures and then headed back to Manhattan, the monument access was closed this day for some reason. We skipped Ellis Island and decided to continue on to Ground Zero via Wall Street.
Ground Zero was much more of a construction yard than we expected, there were no memorials yet what so ever (other than some guided tour that we skipped). We took some pictures anyway and then continued to the east side of Manhattan on foot, saw Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge. Then we suddenly were in China Town, what a transformation, everything was in chinese within a block. The plan was to eat dinner in China Town, but the chinese didn’t seem that friendly to tourists, there weren’t many restaurants that presented menues in English. We decided to continue on a few blocks to Little Italy, which was pretty small, but much more friendly. We had some nice home made lasagne and spaghetti carbonara there.
Then we walked back to the hotel, bought some American foods (like beef jerky and some chocolats), and watched some TV. By the way, beef jerky is disgusting…
