Open-top Buses and a Day at the Museum, New York, United States - 22nd October 2018
It's our first day into Manhattan itself, and we sign up to one of those open-top hop-on-hop-off bus tour things. Our first chosen stop is at the Museum on Natural History on Central Park West, near to the Ghostbusters building and putative location of the film Night at the Museum - a favourite of the boys and thus sepcifically requested by them. After that, we eat a hotdog and then cross over Central Park, via the turtle pond and an ice cream, before re-joining the bus and heading back to mid-town. We then - after some difficultly thanks to lack of mobile signal - meet up with Phil in his office near the top of the Rockerfeller Center, a location with one of the best office-window views ever, before finally getting the subway back to Pen Station and the train back to Millburn.

Harry swings about
Fred roams the garden
Harry and Fred play a bit of 'soccer'
We're on the train for Penn Station
Harry looks glum
On the top deck of a double-decker train
The boys peer out of the window to see New York
Our first view of Manhattan, outside Penn Station
An iconic stripey ConEdison steam vent
The boys pose with some knock-off cartoon characters
A hotdog stand is hauled around
A busy 7th Avenue
Isobel checks out the map
Interesting building detail, on West 43rd and 7th
Fruit stall and graffiti
Funky bulb sign
Statues look out onto the street
On Columbus Circle
Trump's vulgar edifice
Nice old building with lots of balconies
A classic school bus
The statue of Teddy Roosevelt
Cool dinosaur skeleton in the entrance lobby
Fred looks at some shells
In a dinosaur room
The remains of some turtle
A nice skeleton of a woolly mammoth
A Triceratops fossil skeleton
A giant Blue Whale
Fred and Harry in the café
Fred and Harry on the rocks in Central Park
Central Park road
A Blue Jay
Harry and Fred look out over Central Park
Time for ice creams
A duck creates a long bow wave
Turtles in the pond
Harry's not bothered about turtles, it would seem
Harry rolls around on some rocks
The boys in Central Park
Isobel looks out, with her coffee
Nice building on the east of Central Park
Fred leaps about
There are one or two signs on the street
We walk past the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Harry pokes an ornamental pond
Fred and Harry outside the Met
Pigeons on a traffic light
A very bright gold statue
A tourist pony and cart
Sometimes the tiny details can be interesting
Looking down to Times Square
Radio City Music Hall
The view from Phil's office window
The gang look out onto lower Manhattan
The Empire State Building
Looking towards Brooklyn
In the Rockerfeller Centre basement
Mosaic at the bottom of the Rockerfeller Center
Radio City's neon lights
Times Square
Phil piles through the turnstyle in the subway
We're back at Millburn station
Futter's in Millburn, for some reason
