have a new saying "we are not lost we are just not where we are
supposed to be".
Today we tried to go to the imperial palace, the emperor is obviously
richer than the Queen becase his house isn't open to the public
neither are the Gardens on Fridays - just like the small print in the
guide book says doh.
So, we tried akasuka sensoji temple, which was nicely shrouded by
scaffolding as the work on the outside!
In desperation Kay took me to Akihabara - the gadget Mecca, 8 floors i
think, but lost count. Too many things and too much money to be spent
( we didn't spend anything as actully we thought it was more expensive
than the UK.)
We also had a yummy lunch, in a bistro type place. Later we went to
the sumo museum to prepare for a visit to sumo training tomorrow.
Except sumo training is closed tomorrow. Museum was good though.
Finally we went up Tokyo tower to look at the lights. This was open
and very pretty.
Being as no sumo tomorrow we are off to bed now in the hope we will
wake up in time to get to tsukiji fish market before it closes.....
By the way did we tell you about the toilets here? They have arms with
buttons for bidet functions along with flush volume control and extra
deodoriser.......these all go to make normal experiences a little
ummmm tentative ....... More tomorrow......
Ps claire / ian could you possibly check our fridge - martyn thinks he
left half a cucumber in there.
