Statue
of Liberty
Our
group began the day at 8 o’clock ready to head to the most recognized landmark
in New York, the Liberty Island. Lucky for us the weather couldn’t have been
any better. When we arrived at the harbor we faced a security check, after
completing the security check we headed towards the dock where we waited for
boarding. It took about 20-25 minutes to get to the Liberty Island.
When we arrived at the Liberty Island especially
the first time visitors were amazed by the beauty of Lady Liberty - including
me. After we had put our bags in lockers we were ready to visit the Lady Liberty.
We could either have walked to the pedestal where Lady Liberty stands on or we
could have taken the elevator. I and a couple of my friends chose to climb the
stairs and at the same time get much needed exercise.
The views form the
pedestal were amazing, especially the Manhattan skyline. Unfortunately we were
not able to visit the crown, because it’s mandatory to make a separate
reservation to visit the crown (N.B. The maximum group size is four.
Furthermore, high school groups are not the best candidates for the crwon
visit.) After a brief photo session we headed down towards the dock and continued
our trip to the Ellis Island.
