Last Day in Japan

You know you are becoming confident tourists when you don’t even open google maps to show you the way to the station!

If you need help for the trains just speak to the robotic station master and it will give you directions.

Our entertainment today is to visit the harbour side area of Tokyo. There is a driverless train that takes you around shops and attractions. There was a replica Statue of Liberty, fancy ferries, Legoland and much more. Lunch was in an old town area near the seafood market. Good fun and as usual clean cheap food. Jen loved her garlic prawn burger!

Nakamise Market was next for some more last minute shopping. Our feet are sore and we are running out of steam.

Breaking news! My package from Osaka has arrived to my room. Cost me A$10 and my house keys are back with me. The whole problem I caused speaks volumes to the integrity in Japan. They happily solved the problem to my timeline. I can’t imagine getting this kind of service in many other countries.

Dinner tonight we walked local and experienced our first bad behavior from a restaurant. We were refused entry “locals only”. We had heard about this but didn’t believe it was true.

A few doors down we looked at the descending staircase and the no English menu and said “ let’s do it”.

Turned out to be some kind of Japanese tapas experience. Cold beers, gin & tonics combined with some of the best dishes we have had to date. Hilarious watching each of us using google translate to order dishes. A really great meal for our last dinner in Tokyo.

Off to the airport tomorrow.Weiterlesen
