Great view

On Sunday morning the tour, led by our guide Alexandra, took a short ferry ride to the little island just off the tip of Manhattan called Governors Island. This old colonial plot became a USA army base and was recently opened for summer bike rides, ice cream and other leisure type activities. Some of which were not likely to involve the Blog.

But old, otherwise empty big houses are turned into art galleries with different showings in the bathroom, kitchen etc. The sort of art that it is impossible to understand or even know what it is supposed to be. Just the kind of art the tour likes.

Here is a view of one of the old colonial buildings and you can just about see our guide and Mrs Hayes walking towards it.

There were stalls with beer and food which occupied the tour for a while and splendid views like the one below.
