It was our last full day in New York and despite the rainy weather, we wanted to make the most of it.
Having explored a lot of Manhattan and even taken a trip to Staten Island we realised one place we hadn’t yet set foot, was Brooklyn.
Despite the weather and our tired feet we decided to walk over to Brooklyn to take advantage of any views we could see when passing over the bridge. And to get up close to the famous bridge itself.
The walkway is elevated over the roadway which meant for nicer views, and no spray from cars speeding by.
After our intrepid quest across the Brooklyn Bridge, we finally reached the shore and were ready to explore more of Brooklyn.
We didn’t have a solid plan for our time in Brooklyn and spent some time wandering around the area.
We soon found ourselves in Prospect Park. Another large green space in New York City, although nothing on the size of Central Park it was a lovely walk round and shelter from the rain for a bit.
All this walking, or swimming, about really got up our appetite. There’s only so many more opportunities to eat enormous amounts of pizza so we took the opportunity.
After filling ourselves with pizza (and shame) we decided to walk back to the hotel and enjoy the views from the bridge by night.
The day can’t be all fun and games and with the evening set aside for some laundry we took up a spot in a cosy cafe across the street from the laundromat while we hopped too and fro keeping an eye on our precious garments.
And on that calmer note, we headed to the hotel to rest up before our last day in New York City.

Is that the real James or superimposed James on the catwalk?! Camera trickery me thinks!!! Or perfect lines and disappearing horizon. You have well walked feet – in fact they have been all round the world now!
The Autumn colours are still spectacular even in the rain.
That wasn’t a whole one of those pizzas each was it !? 🙀
The walk across the Brooklyn Bridge looked nice. I couldn’t look down though! 😜
