A Bull Market?

Hi, Barb reporting with advice for the eager traveller intending to visit this 24 seven city. The most important one is wear comfortable shoes and always take an umbrella with you especially at this time of the year. Certain parts of USA are heading into cyclone season with Hurricane Katrina anniversary on 29 August. Designer gumboots are the autumn rage this season and with the rain that been falling you can understand why.
Comfortable shoes gives the eager tourist a chance to walk the streets, jump on a bus with relative ease and zip down the endless and might I say, confusing tube stations. A map of the underground is a life saver!!! Yellow taxi’s a dime a dozen, once the art of hailing for one has been accomplished, then sit back and relax as they weave their way through the maze of streets and avenues.

For any first time person to this never sleeping city there are certain touristy sites that you must see and do- Statue of Liberty, harbour cruise around Manhattan, the Empire State building, Ground zero, The Bull at Wall street. Then there are the necessary photo sessions to prove you have been there.

The variety of Museums and the treasures that each one contains is beyond belief- Picasso, Salvador Dali, Monet, Egyptian treasures, Roman statues, fossils and more all there for you to spend hours (and hours) wandering and taking in the delights of each attraction. Explore these links to begin to appreciate what they offer, MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim and all in easy walking distance from Central Park.

Without a doubt all these have entry costs and well worth every ‘green bill’. Speaking of the green bill make sure you travel with plenty of cash as that is still the way to do business especially at the variety of weekend ethnic markets and small food stalls that line every possible corner.

The best possible advice I can give to any traveller is to check out Google earth, by using the 3D option you get very accurate visuals.

That’s it from me for today. Time to soak the feet, and prepare them for another day of adventure.
