in about an hour. You
be at your hotel, the « Big Apple Hostel » at around noon. If that's ok with you, we will meet in the restaurant room for lunch at 1, which leaves you one hour to
your suitcase and take a shower.
Please have a look at the brochure I've just given you. You will find in it my mobile number. Don't hesitate to contact me
in case of emergency. You will also find, on page 3, a map of Manhattan and a map of the
around the hotel on page 4. As you can see, there are lot of things to do and many interesting
are situated within walking distance.This afternoon is free. The hotel is halfway between Central Park and the Empire State Building. So you
go for a walk in Central Park, visit the Metropolitan Museum or walk down 5th
to the Empire State Building which is located at the corner of 5th Avenue and 34th Street. Please
if you need anything.Tomorrow, on Monday, we'll get up
to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The bus
pick us up at 8 to take us to Battery Park to catch the first boat at 9.30 to Liberty Island. I must warn you that we will all
be patient
as there will be a lot of people. We'll stay there 2 and a half hours, which should give you enough time to go up to the crown, visit the statue museum which is located in the pedestal and have a snack at the cafe. Around noon, the boat will take us to Ellis Island, and we'll visit the Museum of Immigration.
We will be
in Manhattan around 4. The bus will pick us up at Battery Park and bring you back to the hotel. There, you can
rest or have some time to

For those who are interested, I have booked an excellent and
Thai restaurant for 8 o'clock. And please remember that our Broadway show, The Lion king, is
scheduled for 9.30. You
pay for this as it is included in the stay.
So I'll meet you tomorrow at 8. Any questions?
