Wow, it's taken a while to get the last days of our honeymoon up! After taking it easy the previous day, we'd decided we were going to tick off one of our major goals and go on a boat trip today and it was AMAZING! We made the (what turned out to be) great decision to go on the trip that started at 3.30pm, it wasn't the Staten Island Ferry which is free, we decided to pay for a different one because this way we'd be taken all the way up to the Statue of Liberty and all along the Hudson. The boat was huge and there were great views all around, and also an outside area at the back of the boat which was great for taking pictures. It was absolutely freezing, I'm not joking it was seriously bitter, but it was definitely one of the highlights of our whole trip there. We had a lovely tour guide who gave us information on the various sights along the way and the trip was about an hour and a half in total.
The rest of day 5 we spent wandering around mid-town and the Upper East side, trying in vain to find another Barnes and Noble because I was after a very specific book, eating pizza (cue more unflattering photos of me eating food).....
And taking random pictures of Nick stood outside buildings that apparently appear in some sort of Xbox game (?)...
Day 6, our last day, we only had the morning and early afternoon before we had to head to the airport, so we decided we'd head up the Top of the Rock for one final view of the spectacular New York skyline, grab some lunch, have a wander around Central Park and then head on home! The Top of the Rock was incredible, I'd hear a lot of people saying that they preferred the Top of the Rock to the Empire State Building, and whilst I think it would be kind of criminal to go to New York without going up the Empire State, I have to say I do agree. Firstly, the fact that you can actually see the Empire State Building makes the views so much more spectacular and makes it feel very 'New York' but you can also see Central Park from up there, something that you can't really see from the Empire State Building.
After the Rockefeller, we headed to Central Park for a last wander around before heading back to the hotel to pick up our bags and catch a ride to the airport. It's such a lovely place to walk around, especially as there was still snow on the ground, the lake was frozen, and we were just trying to soak in every last minute of being there in New York whilst we could.
New York was the PERFECT place for our honeymoon, I think it being in the Winter months, after a truly incredible New Year's Eve wedding there really was no other place we could have imagined going. It's going to hold such special memories for us forever now which is lovely and we will definitely be going back at some point! We'd love to go when it's slightly warmer so that we can experience the city in a different climate, I'm sure it would feel really different, and there's so much more that we'd like to do over there.
