It was the Revlon-sponsored Run/Walk for charity this morning, starting at Times Square at 09:00 and finishing in Central Park. All the streets surrounding Times Square were closed off to traffic, but it was still crazy full of people as we walked through it to find somewhere for breakfast just after 09:00. We found a great place that does three pancakes for $3 - no wonder Americans say it's cheaper to eat out than in.
We headed straight for the Empire State Building after breakfast, hoping to make the most of the better weather forecast for today, as opposed to the wall-to-wall rain forecast for tomorrow and Monday. We didn't quite manage to dodge the rain entirely and had to go inside for a few minutes while we were on the observation deck, but we didn't do too badly.
Next we walked over to the Circle Line Pier to go on a boat tour. We took the 3-hour tour all the way round Manhattan Island, which was awesome. The weather cleared up (we knew it would, which is why we chose to do the boat tour this afternoon and do indoor stuff tomorrow and Monday) so our pictures look nice and sunny. Here's my favourite - although I didn't take it. I figured all three of us taking pictures of the same things was a bit excessive so I left it to Mum and Jen. Think this is one of Jen's: -
The boat docked at 17:00, then we walked back Times Square and went for an early dinner (particularly as we only had half a pretzel each for lunch, but those $3 pancakes were really filling!) before popping back to the hotel to get changed for the theatre.
