Day 2 - Morning

Ground Zero

"The Charging Bull"

Day Two in “The Big Apple”!

We wanted to fit in as much as humanly possible, so after being told that Century 21 opened at 7:45am, we woke up and made out way downtown to check it out.

Getting up at 7am was well worth it as Century 21 was MASSIVE. The volume of clothing and accessories was insane, the only shop in the UK I can relate to Century 21 is TK Maxx X 100. The store was full of designer pieces that were at hugely discounted prices. The store didn’t have much in the way of visual merchandising, I think their plan was to get the largest volume of merchandise in one area.

Right opposite was Ground Zero. At first I didn’t realise what we were looking at as it still looks like a building site. It was amazing to see and a true life experience.

We then walked and got very lost trying to find Wall Street and the “Charging Bull” statue. From there we hoped to go to Battersea Park to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty.

As we were trying to photograph the Statue of Liberty (that looked the size of an ant) an American gentleman told us about the free Staten Island ferry that we could take that passes right by the Statue. I managed to get some great photos and the boat ride was lovely (even though I did get hit in the face by a wave).
