Today was the first time we'd walked over the bridge together and the first time I'd walked over it from Brooklyn to Manhattan, for some strange reason it seemed to take less time walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan than Manhattan to Brooklyn...?
Although you can't tell from this photo, the bridge was jam packed with people walking and cycling to and from Brooklyn. With vendors selling ice cold drinks, tshirts and keyrings dotted along the walk way all the way along the bridge.
Quite close to the beginning of the bridge you get fantastic views of the new park their building (although it looks pretty much finished) in Brooklyn Heights, those long benches at the bottom of the photo are where we sat after lunch. I think we'll head back to the park to have a proper look, I hadn't realised how big it was from where we were on the bench - it looks lovely.
As you walk further along you get great views of the river and a very grand looking Lady Liberty.
Once we got to the other side of the bridge we walked over to South Street Seaport and had a drink by the boats - it was such a beautifully sunny evening - we didn't realise the time at all but by the time we'd finished our drinks and done some mooching around some of the shops at the Seaport it was nearly 7pm, I love how light it is in the evenings now. It makes such a huge difference to the day - it feels like we have so much more time to do stuff now that summer's more or less here!
It was blummin' perfic day.
