Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!

Hello!
I went to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island today, let me tell you the story.
I had a relatively bad night, slept badly, as some of my roommates snore, so I woke up around 6am, and chilled on the computer till 8, before I went and bought some supplies for the tour to the Statue of Liberty, and I felt that I hadn´t time to go eat breakfast, that I have been doing these couple of days.

So I took the subway down to South Ferry (which took over 30min from 103rd Street). I got on the ferry to Liberty Island, Which I had prebooked in Sweden. I had the chance to go into the pedestal (not the crown because i had to book that one way in advance), which I did, it had a nice museum.
After more than a hour of walking around, I took the ferry to Ellis Island, which people who immigrated to the US went to in the early 20th century, to get accepted into the country. It has another museum, on how it was during that time period. It was nice to see, but I was getting tired because of the bad night.
So about noon I went back to New York, to Battery park. From there I decided to check out a comic book store on Fulton Street, to see if they had any comics that I wanted (I collect the Punisher Max series), which they hadn´t.
After that I decided to go to Natural History museum (another museum, when you´re tired?), I wanted to see the exhibits and have a look around, since it´s almost free.
So I spent an hour checking out the place, before going back to the hostel and having a rest, since I have walked lots today!
