Tokyo New Year's Day

We didn't get to bed until 1am and knew that pretty much nothing was going to be open today, so along with that and the fact that the cough I started to develop on the rainy day of the terrible ski lessons over a week ago has been steadily getting worse, I was happy to do absolutely nothing today. We didn't waked up until about 10.30am, and I then slept on and off for the remainder of the day, whilst Craig did some sketching and painting and Kate played games.

Living right across the road from a konbini (in our case Seven Eleven) is like having the world's best room service but at a way better price. Fabulous cafe lattes for breakfast at about $2.20 each, fruit smoothie for $2.60, brilliant selection of lunch for under $7 each and then dinner and dessert for under $10 each.

It was nice to have a lazy day because it has been a reasonably cracking pace for me for the last 4 weeks. Too bad I wasn't feeling the best, but quite possibly if I was feeling better I would have been out and about. I did an online grocery shop so we have a fully stocked fridge and pantry when we get home. Big day tomorrow getting back to Osaka and filling in time before a very late flight home.Weiterlesen
