The plan was to go on Saturday to see the Brooklyn Bridge but we decided to go on Sunday afternoon. First we went to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, the newly opened Pier 1 was beautiful. With lush greenery and a stunning backdrop of the Brooklyn bridge and Manhattan Bridge - it was picture perfect. And of course how can one forget to mention the famous Brooklyn ice-cream factory.
We spent some time in the park, clicking pictures and eating ice-cream and just enjoying the cool breeze. Got some beautiful shots of the park and of the many brides who were getting their pictures clicked. Then it was time for the walk on the bridge.
Brooklyn Bridge - It is one of the oldest (127yr old) suspension bridges in the U.S. and was the longest suspension bridge in the world till 1903. Unexpectedly, when we went on the bridge, there were a lot of people. People were walking in both directions on one side and the other side was for the cyclists. We moved on and on the way saw a newly married couple walking down the bridge. We reached the first tower in 15 minutes and started clicking pictures. The view was breathtaking - statue of liberty far in the water and the Manhattan bridge right beside with a clear skyline view. And yes, we also saw a music video shoot going on the bridge, people were stopping by to look at what's going on.

Then march on to the next tower began, with some more pictures and some rest breaks on the way. And finally, we crossed the bridge in one hour, that's a long time to walk over a mile. The views were unmatched and the walk was so much fun.
