Thursday 24th August 2017 - West Point NY

Headed north back up the other side of the Hudson River to Kingston.  On the way we stopped for a tour of West Point Military Academy.


A view of the Hudson River along the way


        The non denominational church within the academy grounds



The largest pipe organ in America, looks like you need a pilot's licence to be able to play it.



A memorial to all the graduates who have died in conflicts around the world


The grounds have prime position on the edge of the Hudson River



After the tour of the Academy we went into the Museum which told you about the history of all the wars America has been involved in which is quite a few



One exhibit of note is a gun that was presented to Adolf Hitler, too bad he didn't use it to shoot himself.
