Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero and Brooklyn bridge

Today began with the most amazing breakfast at Gemma's on Bowery Street. I had blueberry pancakes and Tom had a frittata with extra bacon and a whole teapot full of hot chocolate. They were probably the best pancakes I have ever had and Tom and I couldn't stop smiling just because the food was so good! 


After breakfast we headed to Battery park to catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We climbed up to the pedestal in the Statue of Liberty, where there was a great view of Manhattan. 


After this, we walked from Battery Park to the World Trade Centre and the 9/11 memorial. The memorials were beautiful and made you stop and think and remember those who lost their lives. It was really touching. 

We then got the Metro to Brooklyn bridge, and walked back across into Manhattan. Great views! We explored the area and found the South Street Seaport outdoor mall. It was a lovely area with loads of individual food stalls! Tom and I shared the most amazing wood-fired oven cooked pepperoni pizza from a stall called Pizza Moto, which I would highly recommend!!! 



We are both mega excited to see Taylor Swift tomorrow at the MetLife Stadium!

DC duck tour!!

Today we got up fairly early and went for the hotel breakfast. I had fruit loops, which were super weird and Tom had dodgy doughnuts!!  We went into the city and our first stop was Obama's place! Obviously Barack didn't get the memo that we were in town so sadly missed out on meeting us.  After seeing the White House we walked to Union station, with a bit of retail therapy and lunch on the way! I got a pretty top from Forever 21! We had lunch in Pret, I had a California club sandwich and Tom had a New York Meatball wrap!!  We got to the station and boarded our vessel for the DC duck tour! The captain was called Captain Bucky and he was hilarious, he told us a funny joke to do with porridge when we told him we were from Norwich!! The tour was awesome, a really great way to see all of DC's monuments and memorials and learn things about them in the process! There is definitely an added excitement when you get on to the water, although it was a bit scary when Captain Bucky let

Worst Lecture Ever!

Friday began at 11, with a Meteorology lecture that I was (as always) late to. However I only missed a bit of recap so it was all good. During the lecture we learnt about the First Law of Thermodynamics, and there was a lot of maths involved. I still managed to follow it all though which was nice. After the lecture I rushed back home quick as my lil legs could carry me! I had a couple hours break and wanted to make the house look nice for when Tom arrived that evening. I literally spent the whole of my break tidying the kitchen and it didn't look like I'd even touched it, it was so messy. At 2 I headed back into uni for two super fun hours of maths! The first was a Vector Calculus lecture with the lecturer that I really like. The maths is quite hard but he explains it all really really well and takes it nice and slow, he gets a big ol' thumbs up from me. However my second lecture couldn't have been further from the nice, well-explained maths we'd been doing pr
