Today was a travel day! We got up late after our alarm didn't go off and got woken up by the cleaning woman... so we were late for check out but luckily didn't get charged! Think they were very keen on us at the hotel :)! We caught the bullet train again from Osaka to Tokyo! Got to Tokyo in the middle of the afternoon. On our way to our hostel we saw a sculpture that looked very interesting ... we tried to guess what it might be and came up with a few ideas, but...

We got up for our amazing hostel breakfast .... eggs on toast! And even a cup of tea! We then went to the Tokyo National Museum as a guy at another hostel really recommended it but it waws shut!

In the afternoon Mari took us to a really cool temple in Asakusa called Senso-ji. It was ...

An early start today as we are moving hostels! For the day we went to Ropongi to a see a great view of tokyo. Selina and Libby went up the Ropongi hills tower onto the helipad (above the 53rd floor!). We saw an incredible view. It made us realise how big tokyo actually is! The city surrounded the tower and the tall buildings extended right into the far distance! Our new hostel is in Asakusa and is brand new and very nice! Mari (Libby`s housemate) has joined u...
