Scuba diving around the world!
Had a great few days in Tokyo and now feel like I know the city pretty well! Had a great time when we went down to Tokyo bay! It was a fantastic sunny day so we had a great view over to the rainbow bridge and the Tokyo tower! Getting around Tokyo was pretty easy and Jo and me are now experts on the Tokyo subways and I think we must know most of the stops off by heart...the walking between tube stations has helped keep us fit anyway!Found that in Tokyo there is a definite trend with people’s cats and dogs wearing clothing...yes CLOTHING!!! We even came across some shops which sold outfits for cats and dogs and these included fireman, squaddie and FROG outfits...BIZARRE but made us laugh alot!! Have even put a picture in the photos section to show one cute doggie we saw in fluffy pinky combat clothing!!! Enough on cat/dog clothing...We took a train to the Mount Fuji region where we were lucky enough to get a glimpse of the mountain and its snowy top on our way there...sadly as soon as we arrived the weather turned "Bognor" cloudy and the mountain disappeared behind dark clouds! Never mind we had a good day and when we did see the mountain for a fleeting second we were amazed how huge it actually was!!! A fab site!Today was my favourite day and I call it "Jens Japan day!!"..Got up very early and went to a fish...yes a fish market!! Was actually a real laugh and it was the biggest fish market in Asia (A fact there for you!!), so was a real experience.....never seen so many huge fish/crabs/lobster! The fishermen were even cutting up massive tuna fish bigger than me! And there were squid as long as my arm. Also watched sumo which was amazing and when I get back to Bognor perhaps we could organise sumo events.....just a thought!!!Looked around Shinjuku which is where you find the designer shops of Tokyo...was loving the Gucci shop and still cant believe we went looking around their lovely shop in our smelly travel gear!Loving the Japan vibe and the fun things they do! We travel back to Shanghai tomorrow by ferry (fingers crossed its smooth!)...we will next travel up to Beijing by over night train. In Beijing where we hope to visit The great wall of lovely China!!Send you more news and photos very soon! Lots of love to all, hope your all fine and cool, from Jen xxxxx
