Once again our day started early with the traditional WAKY WAKY Belo! While some of us really appreciated it, others just hoped that this will be Tici’s whole message… because sometimes she starts singing…
After about an hour we arrived in New York, after surviving Tici’s wonderful singing. Our first stop was at the Empire State building. In order to save money , we climbed up like King Kong on the walls of the building. Thanks to all the monkeys who taught us how this works! (jk) It was more than worth to climb up there, because the view was amazing!
After our exhausting climbing activity we had lunch in a park, where we relaxed and tanned in New Yorks summer sun.
After our lunch break, Garrett, our New Yorker tour guide, was already waiting for us to show us some interesting sights, and in-between he drew our attention to some funny things, like facts, cars, weird people, etc. ,,, really weird people (remember the guy with the funny umbrella hat???!)
  We saw Ground Zero, which is no longer considered as Ground Zero, as new buildings are under construction and some of them are already done. After that we discovered the finical district, checked the value of our stocks and traded some at stock market. Good thing that we all had our parents credit cards with us - now we are praying that they don’t lose their value, we invested in some really weird stuff!
Garritt showed us the America was born, it didn’t really look like the baby station in a hospital, but it was interesting! We kept on walking through New Yorks streets, listened to Garritts stories and got smarter and smarter! Even though we were really tired, he kept us awake with beat boxing, singing (he is a serious competition for Tici…) and joking.
Finally we crossed the famous Brooklyn Bridge, where we took a lot of pictures and ate Mango-flowers, which caused sticky sticky fingers. After an ice-cream break the fabulous bus picked us up and took us to Times Square where we had two hours SHOPPING time.
After a looong and fun day in New York we had an amazing and very healthy dinner (just 1200 calories) at a Hard rock Café.
We finished our last amazing day in New York with a bus ride home and a Happy Birthday song for our two birthday girls in 13 languages!
