NYC - Day 2
Thousands of steps and very tired feet. But what a day! We had a guided walking tour of Midtown and discovered how science and maths in architecture created a whispers corner.
A little stroll through Central Park munching some hotdogs. Then visited MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) to view some interesting Art work, including van Gogh and Picasso’s work. We then visited Top of the Rock for more spectacular views of this beautiful concrete jungle with all its skyscrapers.
Bubba Gump was the choice for tonight’s dinner - best chocolate cookies we’ve ever tasted! Ended a very long day in Broadway with a fabulously funny show of Operation Mince Meat.

Day one in NYC complete! After a very long journey we finally made it to The Big Apple. A trip to the top of the Empire State building gave us a panoramic view of the whole of NYC. The observatory on the 86th floor is more than 1,000 feet from the ground and can be reached by a high-speed lift. The art-deco architectural design of this sky scraper has made it an impressive monument to the modern American world.
We had a mooch around the shops in 5th Avenue, also known as Millionaire's Row. It crosses the whole of Manhattan from north to south. It is New York's most expensive and best shopping street with the world's most expensive retail spaces.
Of course we made some time for learning, when we popped into the New York Public Library, the second largest public library in the US.
After lunch, we had a guided tour around Radio City Music Hall. Located in the Rockerfeller Centre it is a well known entertainment venue that has played host to numerous stars and groups including Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.
After a busy first day, it was time for dinner at Planet Hollywood, with delicious brownies to top off some good grub (oh, and a man literally jumping over Mr Massey!)
Finally we ended day 1 with a Basketball game at the iconic Barclays centre. It was New Orleans vs the home team Brooklyn Nets. Great fun, and a great close game!

Our Y8 Historians have arrived in Belgium after an early start on their Battlefields Trip. They have already visited Tynecot Cemetry, Hill 60 and Zandvoorde Command Bunker - the weather is cold!😱They are heading off to Passchandaele the museum and trenches this afternoon before arriving at the hotel. Everyone has been incredibly respectful and attentive in these truly remarkable places.

Iceland update 😃 The South Coast Day proved a great success, the weather was excellent and everyone enjoyed their time spent at Skogafoss Waterfall, the black sandy beaches of Reynishverfi and the coastal erosional features of Dyrolaey. The glacier of Solheimajokull was breathtaking and its retreat poignant as a result of climate change. A drenching at Seljalandsfoss waterfall rounded the South Coast Day off nicely and the Northern Lights 'show' were witnessed later in the evening. Today everyone has seen the sites of Reykjavik on a guided tour of the city and are now currently making our way to the airport, tired but so many happy memories made. Forest at its best from the land of Ice 😍

The Iceland Tour Party arrived safe and well on Saturday. We've been on the Golden Circle Tour yesterday, taking in the Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Station, the Kerid Crater, the Great Geysir, Gulfoss Waterfall and Pingvellir National Park. The weather has been kind, low temperatures but glorious sunshine today. This bodes well for seeing the Northern Lights tonight (fingers crossed).
Started the South Coast Tour today at Skogafoss Waterfall. Everyone is having a great time and in awe at the natural beauty of Iceland 😍
