New York – Day 6 – World Trade…

Day 6 in New York saw us visit a number of locations. First up we headed across the river to Hoboken via the Path train to visit the home of Carlo’s Bakery – why you may ask – well my girls are all “Cake Boss” fans (a lifestyle show on Foxtel) and this is where it all happens

We bought some pastries, had some brunch at a nearby diner and headed back to Manhattan to the World Trade Center site

Many Ups and Downs
Earlier that morning I’d purchased the tickets to visit the 9/11 Memorial site online, however we were too early for our entry timeslot so we went for a walk to nearby Wall St. My wife works in the financial industry so she wanted to visit the area

After lunch we walked back to the WTC site and queued for entry. It’s a pretty sobering experience standing next to where the two massive world trade centre towers once stood. Now two massive waterfall pools of remembrance stand in the footprint of the two former towers
