The Statue of Liberty, New York City

On our final day in the concrete jungle that is New York City, we went for something really touristy, The Statue of Liberty.

Lady Liberty was a gift from the people of France and was dedicated in 1886. Standing for over 130 years on Liberty Island in the windswept harbour of New York, the cooper structure was significantly restored during the 1980’s and the torch was fully replaced with one covered in 24 carat gold (the original is below).

We also climbed up into the crown as something different and felt the statue sway in the wind which was a little unnerving.

I would recommend a visit to the Statue of Liberty, even though the crowds on and off the ferries can be annoying and the cold breeze cuts to the bone, it was definitely worthwhile.

Next we head to the USA capital, Washington D.C.

Thanks for reading the next instalment in our trip around the USA.
