One World Observatory, 9/11 Memorial and Come From Away (Show 5) Fri. 29 Sep

Today the weather has started to change and we had our first day below 20 degrees, we've been having temperatures in the high 20s pretty much for most of the trip so it was a real surprise to have to wear jeans and a jacket. We headed downtown to the World Trade Centre site as we had tickets for the One World Observatory which has been built near to where the World Trade Centre towers once stood. We went to the observation deck which is on levels 100 to 102 and the views were amazing. We chose today as the forecast was the best all week and we weren't disappointed.

Most of the Memorial doesn't allow photographs or video and the whole experience is sombre. 

Tonight we saw our 5th Broadway show - Come From Away, which coincidentally was conceived on the 10th anniversary of September 11th 2001. The show was fantastic. 



A great way to end our second last day in New York.
