Today we travelled across town to shinjuku, where the bullet trains to
Nagoya don't go from, kay was convinced that they did, so planned a
nice trip across town to see the gardens, and with that more cherry
blossom, tea houses and yet more locals, quite a lot more locals- all
having brunch in the same park.
Kay thinks that if there was a world shortage of blue tarpaulins (sp?)
then they should ask questions of the locals here, as you can hardly
see the grass for giant sheets of the stuff
We walked around the gardens and saw some giant carp, and more locals
with giant cameras, seemingly birdwatching as well as tree
photographing.
Later we had a pleasant pic-nic outside the station as we had
skillfully navigated to the JR ticket office to reserve our seats for
the train only to discover that we needed to go back to Tokyo station
which was where it stopped! -oops
3pm arrived and so did the train at about 2.45, it duly emptied of
people and was swiftly and very efficiently cleaned, together with
spinning all the seats round inside so that they faced the right way!
On we got, kay fell asleep rapidly after nominating me to stay awake
to make sure we got off at the right stop!
During the trip I discovered a new addiction to White chocolate banana
flavoured kit-kats! Advantage me, as K hates White chocolate.....
