Let's see what the inside of the Statue of Liberty is like. We're taking the ferry to go inside the statue. All right. And here we are boarding the ferry. And yeah, I think it's a like 10 minutes ride over to the statue. Okay, and here we are on the island now and we can see the statue already over there. And yeah, let's have a look outside first and then we go inside, okay? Okay. And here we are now right in front of the statue. And yeah, this is one of the most famous places in the world probably, not only in in America. One of the most famous tourist sites in the whole world. I think around the world knows this place. And yeah, you also have a beautiful view to the Manhattan skyline over there. By the way, if you wanna have the tickets as well, you need to book them at least 4 or 5 months in advance. Okay, and we are inside the statue area now. So you have to go through security. And we are now at the back of the statue. Okay, you have like an entrance hall here once you enter through the doors and we have a sign "To Pedestal & Crown" up there. Ah, there is an elevator? Yeah. 5-10 minutes to walk but there's an elevator as well which I think my mom prefers. Look at the line for the elevator. And we have 195 steps to the top of the pedestal. right behind you here if you'll excuse me. All right, and just like that we are almost at the top. He said we have to climb the last 26 steps ourself to the top of the pedestal. Okay, it's actually 162 steps more to the very top, not 26. I don't know where the 26 was coming from. And they said it's very narrow and especially I have to duck down probably here and there. Oh wow, this is interesting especially if you know how old this statue is. It's from 1886, I think. The spiral staircase here. I mean, she said if you don't feel comfortable switch to the downside and walk down. Okay, yeah. It is very narrow here to walk. So if you have anxiety walking in areas like this, this is probably not a good idea for you. Where's my mom now? Suddenly she is so fast. I can't even see her anymore. Ah, here you are. Yes. You all right? It's also getting quite high. Well, this thing stood here for a long time already. Why would it break down right now, right? But what's interesting here is you can actually see that the statue was assembled from little pieces like you can see the pieces right here. Yeah, the statue was a gift from France and they did not ship the whole statue in one piece to America. They shipped small pieces which they then put together here. And that is actually interesting that you can see that here. All right, here we are at the very top. That was a interesting climb. And do you know where we are right now? Inside the crown of the statue. That is very fascinating. Yeah, we have a Brooklyn over there and then the statue is actually not looking to Manhattan and to my surprise the statue is also not looking to the open ocean. It's basically looking to that part of New York City over there and then the open ocean would actually be far over there. Yes? Excuse me? I always thought that the statue is looking to the open ocean but that's not the case. Yes, you see all parts of New York, New Jersey, Governors Island. Yeah? Governors Island. So the statue is facing the island over there. What part is that? That part is Brooklyn. Ah, it's Brooklyn? Yes, still Brooklyn. Ah, it's still Brooklyn. That whole big structure there. Yeah? by my shoulder. Aha. that's obviously downtown New York... right? The island closest to us right here. Aha. that's Governors island. So, okay. the small one over there. And yeah, you can see the structure in here. Looks like a bit curved. So it would have looked like that. Yeah, so this is the original color? Yes. So even from the outside the whole statue looked like this. Something like that. I'm sure by the time it got here it was a little darker like this already because it doesn't take too long for copper to patina. But to be honest, I think I like the current color more. Yeah, it's... Like it looks iconic in like this green. Yeah, yeah. in like this green. The artist, initially he knew it was gonna turn blue. Okay. I actually read about that. Yeah, but now we have this green color here. The iconic color, I would say. But, yeah. What a cool place to be. One of the most famous places in America very cool here. and I'm happy to share this with... Okay, and of course we also have to go all the way down again. All the stairs down and if you look down here. But that was a very unique experience.
