Saturday August 27th after a long drive in lots of traffic The Nevins arrive at Liberty Landing ready to bike the Liberty State Park. What a magical few days.
The dock hand couldn’t have been more obliging giving us permission to park Ceire’s SUV right there beside the C Dock for four days.
Sunday August 28th we took the Ferry from Liberty State Park NJ to Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty.
It was a moving experience certainly at Ellis Island where you can feel what it must have been like to arrive into such chaos. The museum at both facilities are really informative and interactive. It has been reported that as many as 10,000 visitors visit Lady Liberty some days.
August 29th New Horizon took the crew for a short cruise up the East River where we got the feel for the magic of New York right from the bow of the boat and docked at One 15 Brooklyn. Boy did we rock and roll there! The docks bounced around day and night, our view was totally blocked by the mega yacht Liberty 187 feet! Despite this the area is truly amazing with so much greenery and activity - soccer fields right on the waterfront, basketball courts, volleyball courts, pickle ball, water splash parks, swing parks , mountain slides and the wonderful Jane’s Carousel.
Ceire having more fun then Ollie.
This was our view at Liberty Landing. Just magnificent.
The Ferry ride after our long day in the big city visiting the 9/11 memorial, One World Trade Center, the Oculus Center, the High Line ( a repurposed railway approximately 1.45 miles in length ), and Little Island at Pier 55 ( Barry Dillers $260 Million Public Park which took five years to build).
The white spiked building is the Oculus.

After an exhausting day we had dinner onboard on sang Happy Birthday to Nandad. What a delicious treat.
On our last night the beautiful and distinguished 156ft motor yacht ARRIVA which was previously owned by Johnny Depp and currently owned by J.K.Rowling pullled in to dock. The kids and adults were naturally intrigued. The bow of the mega yacht Liberty is what you see towering above the picture.
