Crossing Staten Island!

Last Saturday some of my peers and I decided to venture into the coldness of Staten Island. We took the 1 subway to South Ferry, bearing in mind that we had to travel in one of the first five coaches in order to be able to get off the train. So if anyone is planning to go, jot that down!
So we took the ferry. As the sun was shining, it wasn't really that cold, but maybe we've just got used to it! We were able to get some lovely sights: Manhattan Island, the Statue of Liberty, some of the bridges, etc.

When we finally got to the Island, a very kind policeman advised us to take the train (not the subway, but the regular one!), so as to get to see the landscape. Moreover, we would be able to reach the end of the island. And he also suggested getting off at New Dorp, a station surrounded by restaurants and bakeries. So we followed his plan: we got to Totenville station, the very last one, and got a nice sight of New Jersey. Afterwards, we got the train again to New Dorp, and there we had the best pizza ever! Finally, we took the ferry back to Manhattan. In spite of the cold, we had an unforgettable trip. So, no regrets!
