Trip to Liberty Island

The area around the ferry to Liberty Island is known as Battery Park.

It was INCREDIBLY sunny and it took proper ages to get on the boat.

This globe statue was in front of the World Trade Centre, and still bears the scars of the events of 9/11.  There's a wee eternal flame in front of it.  This was a WAY more evocative sight than even the actual site.

This is me on Liberty Island.  I've got a headset on giving me an audio tour.  I had to turn it off because it was strangely moving.  Particularly, bizarrely, a soundbite from a exhuberant visitor from Scunthorpe.
