Last day in NYC

This friday was our last day in New York City and in the United States in general. Unfortunately, our bus to Newark Liberty International Airport departed quite early, so we had to already be back at our hotel at 2 p.m. Nonetheless, we still had more than enough time to take a walk on the "High Line". It is a 2.33-kilometres-long elevated park that was built on former railroads on the west side of Manhattan. 

During our walk we got to see many famous buildings such as the "Vessel" and 520 West 28th designed by the famous architect Zaha Hadid. On top of that, the view of the skyscrapers was absolutely fantastic.

At around noon we descended from the High Line and took the Subway back to the station "World Trade Center" close to our hotel. There, we ate lunch and after that went back to our hotel to get on our bus to the airport. A short but definitely fun day.
