The Downtown-tour took us to all the known and lesser-known attractions of southern Manhattan.

04/13/2016 New Jersey/New York City (USA)

Today, the World Tour Team explored New York City.

We took the shuttle bus which stops directly in front of our hotel, from New Jersey through the Lincoln Tunnel in the middle of the City. There we walked from Times Square over the 7th Avenue, 5th Avenue and Broadway to the Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan.

The Empire-State-Building

The One World Trade Center and 9/11-Memorial

Flat-Iron-Building

Parking in Manhattan is expensive…

From the Battery Park the (free of charge) Staten Island Ferry travels across the Hudson River and the Upper Bay, from the ferry there is a great view of Liberty Iceland with the Statue of Liberty and New York's skyline.

04/12/2016 Portland/Maine - New Jersey (USA)

The last Morning in Portland....

Before we head off direction New Jersey / New York, we were able to load our DeLoreans ourself at the port area into the shipping container. First of all we wiped and dried the cars as much as possible, because it had been raining heavily again overnight.

Then Klaus' car was loaded separately in a 20-foot container,

then Wolfgang and Andres Delos together in a 40-foot container.

We will probably see the DeLoreans again on 04 May in Reykjavik!

After loading we drove with our rental car to New Jersey, where we stay the next two days again in the same Super 8 Motel as on April 6th.

11.04.2016 Portland/Maine (USA)

Today we drove to the harbor twice, in the morning to deliver the Delorean keys, because according to preliminary information we were not allowed to be on the premises of the company during the customs inspection of the cars . Then we got a message from our Shipping Agent, that the customs allowed our presence yet.

We arrived on time at 3:30 p.m., but everything was all done already. Only the chassis numbers were checked and the carnets (vehicle passes) got stamped. Now the 'paperwork' is completed, tomorrow morning we have an appointment for loading the DeLorean into the ship containers.
