Home to Tokyo

What a long day. Up at six to get to the Gold Coast airport. Didn't take long to get through customs then a two hour wait to get on the plane.
Had a look in duty free and before we knew it they wereRead more
Day two

Woke up and it's bright but 5:20am. Phone is charged and wifi works well, so might as well research what to do today. Government tower is very close but closed today so we may check out some localRead more

Prelunch break at Akihabara

Need more energy and can't be bothered findings the Starbucks.
Resting at the room again.

All the excitement is too much. So much to buy, so little that fits. We went to the electronics area, but ran out of energy. Feet are sore from all the walking. We did over two hours yesterday, beforeRead more
Disappointment at the Skytree

Made our way here in the rain, 17 stops on the train. Did a load of washing before we left. Shuts at 10:00pm should be good.

Skytree part 2

We're back and it's still open. Oh a queue for tickets. Shouldn't take too long.
Woohoo we're up and it was really worth it.
Did we really get lost again?!?

Google maps sucks for walking directions in Japan.
After a nice FamilyMart meal, we are heading home.
Pity the three minute walk to the station took 15 minutes. Oh well we are on our way now.
Ichiran Ramen for breakfast

How good is this ramen?!! THE BEST!
Blair is having extra noodles. I had a full clove of garlic and it tastes like naan bread.
Yum.
I chose medium hot ♨ but my nose is running 🏃 like a tap!
Pelette Town

Going on the big Ferris wheel 🎡 we also visited a Toyota showcase, which unfortunately was closed. It would have been so cool 😎 as they had a road with mini segways.
There is also a warehouseRead more
Afternoon break

We are back in our room again giving the feet a rest. Blair is having a cheeky 😝 🍝 spaghetti from the 711 and I am having a beer while the phone 📱 recharges.
We are going to check out theRead more

The observation deck was closed tonight so we didn't get to see the night 🌃 views, but had 🍔 at Wendy's instead.
Relaxing ☔ rainy day.

We had a later start today as it is wet and windy. So we got a load of washing done. We also organised tickets for Mt. Fuji and had lunch like normal people
