We cross the line…

The State line that is.

After a slow start today we got very helpful directions from our concierge on how to get to Hoboken, New Jersey where the famous (if you have Foxtel) “Cake Boss” shop is situated.

This involved navigating the subway for the first time and then transferring to the PATH which takes you under the Hudson River and over to New Jersey – altogether about 25 mins on a relatively quiet (for New York) Sunday morning.

After locating the Cake Boss shop we were actually really surprised at how relatively 'rural' this side of the Hudson was and pleased that we had gotten the opportunity to see the NYC skyline from this aspect.

 

The locals were out in numbers, I guess this is equivalent to a day at the beach for city dwellers.

There were also a few fisherman at one end, we heard lots of tall stories but saw no fish.

Although we could have spent much longer here, it was time to head back to the hotel for a quick change of clothes and our 3pm appointment with the Lion King.

The performance was a sell out and absolutely stunning. It easily exceeded both of our expectations. Costumes, set design, puppetry and pure innovation were amazing, no wonder its been running here for 6 years!

A rather forgettable dinner near the hotel completed the day and we are retiring early tonight to pack in a big last day for Zoe tomorrow.
