NYC Day 04: Museums and Lights

After a late start to the day (photos to download and a little sleep in), we hopped on the subway back to Manhattan and took a stroll through Central Park, grabbed lunch at a street cart and wandered around the Natural History Museum. There were many displays of animals, biodiversity and dinosaurs but one of the coolest things was a large 75:1 scale model of a mosquito. We had a spare hour until the city Christmas lights bus tour, so we went to Spy: The Exhibition. We arrived at the bus stop to quite a long line of people but still managed to get on the second bus and enjoyed some of the spectacular store light displays. Harry Winston, Cartier and Bvlgari buildings were decorated beautifully,
but one of the most spectacular things to see was the UNICEF snowflake which is strung between buildings and is 23 ft wide by 28 ft tall and covered with 16,000 crystal prisms. During the tour we got to stop at Grand Central station which was also amazing. After the Tour we made our way back to Time square and on the subway to the Hotel.
