We are facing our last full day in New York and the end of our road trip through the United States and Canada.

After having breakfast in our Bread Factory, we headed to Empire State Building with tickets already purchased in the hotel lobby, a famous skyscraper that is located only two blocks from the hotel.

The building rises up to 381 meters on the 102nd floor, and its total structural height, including the broadcast antenna, reaches 443 meters. He Empire State It has 67 elevators.

You can clearly see many kilometers away and clearly, on a clear day, everything Manhattan, Brooklyn, and other areas of New York. On our visit we spent more than an hour wandering around the viewpoint.

To avoid the line for the elevator that takes us back down to the 86th floor, we decided to do it by walking down an internal staircase. On that floor we took the elevator directly to the ground floor where we were seeing the relief mural and visiting the store. remembrances.

After leaving the building, we walked around the area for a while and in souvenir shops we bought some magnets and something else to give to friends and family. We ate in a good, cozy Greek restaurant.

After the meal we went to the hotel where we connected to the Internet for a while to download the photos, organize them and send them to family and friends, and on the other hand, print the boarding passes for our flight back to the peninsula.

We also had time to pack our bags, and mid-afternoon we took another walk towards Times Square as a farewell to this big apple. We spent almost three hours sitting on the red staircase looking and watching everything that was happening; and many things happened, something different was constantly happening.

Finally, and to complete our last day in New York, we went by subway to have dinner at the Indian restaurant that we liked so much. All we had to do was catch the return flight the next day.
