Our last full day in Japan!
We had the provided breakfast at the hotel which only had a few unidentifiable items. One Charles tasted and almost spat out! So chrissy knew not to even try it. We saw other people putting it on their rice and really enjoying it. It was like cold raw egg or something. But the rest of the breakfast was pretty normal and delicious.
After packing our stuff we walked outside prepared to take the cable car down the hill but there was a man waiting with a shuttle bus to take us to the station! So that was convenient.
We then took the train to Hakone, then another train to Odawara, and then the Shinkansen to Shinagawa, and then the Yamanote line to Shinjuku. That last train was two minutes late, and as a result was PACKED! It was the most packed train we've ever been on. When I thought the train was full, about 30 people still got on! It was a hot trip.
We couldn't check in until 2, so went out to get lunch at a bakery. We had some amazing pastries and went back to check in. Our room tonight is not as nice as last time but is higher, on the 31st floor. After a brief rest we took the Yamanote line again for 4 minutes to Harajuku (not crowded this time). We had a lovely time looking at people and shops in this bizarre place. We did a big loop and ended up back at the station at about 6pm. Back for a rest and then we went to the top floor of Takashimaya over the road for a restaurant. We were starving so chose an easy option - Korean food. You can't go wrong with a bibimbap. They were really yummy.
With food in our tummies we felt much more energetic, so walked all the way out to Don Quixote (Donki), which was about a 20 minute walk. Donki is always completely packed with all kinds of stuff and all kinds of people. It gets a bit overwhelming and crazy. We bought a couple of little things and came home! Our feet are sooooo sore!
Now we're trying to book our seats on our flight and there aren't any together. So I guess I'll cry at the airport tomorrow and get upgraded hopefully!
