Love the MoMA tour. I am due a trip there.

Benonie · #42 Posted **Sep 25, 2011, 6:47 PM**

Yeah, great place!

We walk to the Hudson River through Midtown West.

Great thread, no wonder "I love NY" is one of the most common T-shirts in the world. Please keep your pictures coming and let us see what you've got to the end of your trip.

Like others have said, you really went all over the place. Cool to see some of the shots inside the museums. Moma has a great collection. Great stuff.

Benonie · #45 Posted **Sep 26, 2011, 6:20 PM**

Thank you! Indeed, MoMA is one of the best, if not the best museum of modern art in the entire world.

Back to Midtown West:

It's getting dark, so it's time to return to Times Square.

You are having the trip of a lifetime! Love those pictures from the boat. I have always wanted to do that.

thanks for taking us along! i hope to visit nyc again before the end of the year

Benonie · #51 Posted **Oct 1, 2011, 10:17 PM**

Thank you!

Unfortunatly it's time to leave stunning NYC... but other fine places are waiting to be visit.
We take the Amtrak-train to Niagara Falls at NY Penn Station:

Driving along the Hudson River. All pics taken from inside the train, so quality is not at its best...

Albany NY:

Changing a broken locomotive at Albany-Rensselaer train station.

Almost in Canada!

Nice pics Benonie! I've been thinking of taking the Adirondack train from Montreal to New York City for some time (although I wondered if the 11 hour train trip/2 hour border stop is worth it, compared to the 6 hour drive). Upstate New York is an interesting place. Did you get a chance to stop in Albany?

HHC · #53 Posted **Oct 3, 2011, 7:23 AM**

Excellent shots, can't wait to see Montreal.

Benonie · #54 Posted **Oct 3, 2011, 6:09 PM**

Thanks, some patience about Montreal. Some other Eastern Canadian places are waiting to be visited.

Well, I think train travel is just another way of travelling. We love to relax in the comfortabel train seats and watch the landscape go buy, allthough trains in most parts of the world are generally slower than planes and cars.

No, it should be a good idea to make an alternative trip to all the smaller and less known Northern American cities.

Benonie · #55 Posted **Oct 3, 2011, 6:52 PM**

Railwaybridge over the Niagara River, the border between the USA and Canada.

Around Niagara Falls railwaystation.

Pretty vacant?

Let's stay optimistic and take the bus in to town...

Fall's highest.

Okay I admit, that's not the beautiest part of the city.

Benonie · #56 Posted **Oct 5, 2011, 7:07 PM**

Entering the touristic zone of Niagara Falls Ontario...

:ohno:

Benonie · #57 Posted **Oct 7, 2011, 9:50 PM**

We didn't make this stop for entertainment and awfull architecture, but for these natural beauties:

The shuttle bus along Niagara Park.

Benonie · #58 Posted **Oct 9, 2011, 7:32 PM**

Niagara Railway Station, early in the morning. Train to Toronto and further to Ottawa:

Oh my! I am jealous as you go into Canada! Your Niagara Falls pics were magnificent. Even the tacky tourist district was fun & colorful to view.

Benonie · #60 Posted **Oct 11, 2011, 7:21 PM**

Thank you very much, Expat!

So we arrived at the rather small and cosy capital of this great country: Ottawa.
