New York: Day One Hundred and Forty-Three - Morning (10 March)

Today we went up the famous Empire State Building. It was the tallest building in the world for over 40 years and is still one of New York's must see sights so we were pleased not to have to queue for too long.

Our first stop was the 80th floor where we picked up our souvenir map then we took the lift to the Observatory Deck on the 86th floor. We'd picked a fabulous day for it as the weather was bright and sunny and it was possible to see up to 15 miles away. We took our time and admired the views from all four sides.
