Hello everybody!
Today I went to Beacon, which is a 1.5 hour train ride north of NYC! Why? becuase I had booked a tour of Bannerman Castle, which is on my bucket list!
The day started very early again, at about 3am, since I went to bed very early, like 7pm, so my sleeping patterns is not that great. So I chilled on the computer until 6am, in which I took a shower and went to Grand Central station and bought a ticket to Beacon!
It was quite expensiv, 35 dollars for a return ticket, and paid by cash, and got 15 dollars in coins in change, which was quite annoying. I waited until 7.45, and got on the train. The train took about 1.5 hours, and the station in Beacon was right next to the docks, where the boat to Bannerman´s castle were shipping from. But the boat was scheduled to leave at 11, so I had some time to kill, So I did look around the area, and started talking to some people who were going on the same tour.
So at 10.50 we went on the boat, and the tour guide explained a few rules and had some interesting facts about the surounding area, as we went closer to the island where the castle is. The boat ride took about 30min. Another guide waited for us, and split us up in two groups, as we were over 40 people in total.
Then we walked around the area with the guide, who explained the history of the area, which was interesting!
After tour, we went back to the boat and headed back to Beacon.
There´s was some time left for the train to New York, so I headed to the bathroom and waited for the train, getting tired at this point. After a while I got on the train, and managed to sleep for a bit, and eventually arriving in New York.
I went to John´s and had a pizza. I decided if I should go to a comic book store in the area, but decided against it.
After dinner, I got back to the hostel and took another shower, as it was hot as hell today. I have no other plans for today, but i´m planning on heading to Brooklyn tomorrow.
