Short trip to Manhattan / マンハッタンに行ってきました


↑Skyscrapers of Manhattan seen from the New Jersey side

August 31st to September 3rd is Labor Day holidays here so Manhattan was very crowded with tourists. To go to Manhattan from New Jersey, we can use a car or take a bus across the George Washington Bridge or pass through the Lincoln tunnel or the Holland tunnel, or take a train or ferry. We used a ferry, the NJ Waterway, as it was a very fine day. We parked our car at Port Imperial on the New Jersey side and took the ferry. It took about only 10 minutes to cross the Hudson River. The view was completely beautiful!
