I’ve been here in Toronto for two weeks. Last weekend I went to New York, it is amazing city.
My trip tour has started on Engliton Station at 9:30pm. At 11:30pm I and the guys from the tour were in the board. The guide, who is called Cristin, has asked us to stay quiet and seat down. The board guards don’t like any kind of noise.
After the board our first stop to relax and eat has come. Actually I wasn’t starving, but I have eaten a sandwich at Tim Hortons. Some hours ahead and we have our second stopped, which took us thirty minutes.
Saturday morning, after eleven hours traveling we have arrived in New Jersey, where our hotel was located. Everybody got off the bus to left the stuffs there. So everything was ready to go. We had been very really excited for the first contact with New York. The bus has left the hotel to our destination, the “Big Apple”.
Couple of minutes later, suddenly N.Y city has turned up in my left side. I was able to see through the bus window, for the first time in my life, the City. Slowly New York has been growing up in my eyes.
We arrived there about 9:30am. Cristin the tour guide, who I mentioned at the beginning, has started to do a good explanation about the sightseeing.
When the explanation has finished we got off the bus to walk around in the Times Square, Broadway, Fifth Ave, and others famous places in downtown area. Everything is big in this city. We have been walked a lot.
In the afternoon 5.30 we were supposed to take a public transportation to back to the hotel. So we did it. Later on 8.30pm we came back to downtown, some of us had gone to a Broadway show, others like me has just walked around. At night Times Square is really, really beautiful. Everything shines, it was completed crowded. There wasn’t a place even to take a picture. Sunday we have gone to Greenwich Village, Soho, Chinatown, Financial district, etc. Mid day we took a boat to see the Statue of Liberty and part of N.Y. city. In the afternoon the time to visit the Empire State Building has arrived. Getting into the build cost us US$15. So we paid and have been stand in the line for a couple of hours. The view on the top is fantastic. We have seen the whole city over there.
Finally our last day has arrived, which were Monday, and we has gone to Central Park for a fast walk tour before coming back to Toronto. Central Park is huge, beautiful and very well organized. Time to go! Everyone had gotten on the bus.
After this weekend I can say: “If you go to New York, It’ll be better take your comfortable tennis shoes”.
