Grand Central Terminal |
If it's Wednesday it must be more sightseeing. Today's tour took us north from Penn station to Times Square, Grand Central railroad Terminal and then seventy floors up the Rockerfeller Center for a elevated view of the city.

St Patrick's Cathedral |
To the north is Central Park and to the south we had a fine view of the Empire State BUIlding and on to the Battery where we were two days ago. It's quite staggering when you try to visualise how the land would have looked before the first settlers to how it is today, changed by man and full to bursting with humankind.
Back on the ground there was more time for reflection with a quick look see at the interior of St Patrick's cathedral on 5th Avenue. Scene of many film scenes.
We ended the day with a stroll through Central Park and caught a subway back to the train station and home. It's tiring being a tourist.
