Out and about

There seems to be no shortage of people happy to help us. A Korean student helped us escape Shibuya station last night (we might still be wandering around, it’s a maze).

In the Sushi bar, a kindly local tried to show us the ropes which involved making green tea (an acquired taste). Sign language is all we needed plus lots of smiling and nodding! It seems the desire to help clueless tourists, like ourselves, is strong and we’re very grateful for it.

So lots of walking, negotiating the metro system, and getting to grips with the baffle of buying tickets from a machine - think we’ve nailed that now.

Todays menu of attractions:
•Shops
•Shibuya Scramble Crossing
•Yoyogi Park
•Seeing unexpectedly early cherry blossom
•Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine
•Akihabara - electronics shopping area
•Ginza Scramble Crossing
•Finding dinner, then queuing to get a lift 14 floors down to ground level
•Looking for lost things in our luggage (and not finding them!)
•A sign that made us smile!

A brilliant first day 😊Read more
