Walk the Brooklyn Bridge

“You know when you are upon something that just looks unreal? Almost like it’s actually a gigantic piece of paper, a theatre scenario that was put in front of you. That’s how I felt when I started crossing the bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn. I had seen this bridge so many times on screens and in glossy photographs that it just felt like one of the most unreal experiences in person. I was amazed, and it’s not easy to get me in such a state anymore.”

“Yes, with my brother. We're New Yorkers. I'm going to be honest that when we got to Brooklyn, we thought, what now? There isn't much to do on the Brooklyn side, so we turned back. Given this was 10 years ago, there was a lot less to do then. We've gone a few times. The bridge itself is beautiful and every person visiting New York City should do it, it's free and you easily can go at your own pace, it's a nice way to get some air and not rush. Real achievement if engineering and design.”

“It was very hot indeed, and I could not resist having some ice cream here whilst enjoying the views – I did have to be very quick though, as it was melting at a record pace!”
