Expedition to the Staten Island Ferry

We set off on foot once more, this time in the direction of the ferry. We briefly touched Wall Street but that didn’t interest Mum so we kept going as it was a long walk. We paused only to get a goofy picture of us posing next to a plastic model of the Statue of Liberty outside of a bakery. We passed a man in a tour uniform who was trying to sell us tickets to Liberty Island. The thing is that you can hitch a lift on the ferry for free as it sails past the island, but if you want to set foot on it then you need to take a tourist boat. As Mum was happy with just a sea view we carried on towards the ferry. We walked through Battery Park for Mum’s first glimpse of the statue, passing the Sea CArousel on the way, then we headed into the ferry terminal to see about our crossing.
