We had a bit of a photo session on the Brooklyn Bridge... but with views like these, it would seem rude not to!

ETA is roughly 2.10pm at TGAK - we're on the coach! 🚌

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

We're all through passport control, have our baggage, and are now awaiting the release of our coach from the coach park.

I'll update an ETA for our arrival back to school when I have one, but it's looking like we'll be slightly ahead of schedule at the moment! 😃

We've landed safely!

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

We've all boarded the plane - see you tomorrow! ✈️

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

We're all checked in and through security. 🙂

Students went to Macy's and then did some final shopping around Times Square. Meanwhile, Mrs R took someone back to 🗽 to recover a lost mobile phone.

We'll head back to the hostel soon (so they can work out how to repack 😂) and then go to the airport in a couple of hours.

Shortly afterwards, we went to Central Park and saw The Plaza Hotel nearby!

We went to Grand Central Station this morning - lots of impressive photos were taken, and the students seemed to enjoy using the Whispering Gallery!

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

We're all exhausted now, but safely back at the hostel. We just need to pack our bags before going to bed so that we can make the most of our final day in the city tomorrow.

Let's keep fingers crossed for more brilliant weather when we tackle Central Park and 5th Avenue! 🤞

Finally, it was starting to get dark, so we headed back to the Brooklyn Bridge, via DUMBO again...

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

And some more!

Next, we headed to DUMBO just in time for the sun to set over the Manhattan Bridge, which perfectly frames the Empire State Building. 🌇

After this, we took in some views of Manhattan from Brooklyn...

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

And then we took some more photos...

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

Next up, Liberty Island! 🗽

[TGAK Geography 🌍 @GeographyTGAK]

We've walked about 10 miles around Manhattan, Liberty Island, and Brooklyn today - so here are some 📸 I've taken...

Firstly, some pretty random ones near to the WTC Memorial and Wall St.
