Island Sights

As we left the terminal, we got a great view of Lower Manhattan. We also saw a cruise trip coming into port. What we didn’t get was any commentary but I suppose we could have found an audio guide if we tried. But our main objective was to get a selfie in front of the statue; a hard feat to achieve without a selfie stick and when you’re in motion. It’s another downside of taking public transportation; if we’d taken a tourist boat there would have probably been a stop for photo opportunities. But we did get some great shots of Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline. Upon arrival, we wanted to remain on the ferry for the short journey back, but the crew were asking us to leave as they already had people queuing up to get on. However, we got off quick enough and managed to walk around to the back of the queue and get back on the same vessel anyway.
