Japan, day 2

Day 2 we set off early to get to Shinjuku.  We were loving the Tokyo subway!
We stopped off at the beautiful Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden first, determined to see more cherry blossoms and luckily we weren't disappointed.

 We particularly liked the pink variety.
 There were some very old trees there too.



 We ran around a bit and decided to head towards Shinjuku shopping district.  Loved the walk.
 Mommy said we need one of these in Hong Kong!
We stopped off at a casual sushi restaurant for lunch. To our delights it's more than a conveyor belt place - our food actually got delivered to us by trains!
Choo choo! Your food is here!
Another happy diner.
Shinjuku.
The business intersection in Tokyo!
After lunch we found Daddy's fishing shop.  Three floors of fishing heaven!
A happy Daddy.
Meanwhile Ella kept busy by singing while se waited.


Tonight we tried out a Japanese yakiniku restaurant.  It was soon delicious.  We had a ton of beef!

Japan, day 1

We made it to Japan!  Yay! We hopped on a train to go downtown.  We used the closer airport and it's only a 30-min ride.
Our hotel room was not ready.  We decided to take a walk to the Imperial Palace to have a look around.  We found our favourite crispy crepe shop right down the road!
A random clothing/outdoor-gear store.Very cute!
Spring flowers around town.
The Palace was a lot further than we had thought and it was closed when we got there.  We spotted some great cherry blossoms outside.
We got a cab back and found a ramen shop near the hotel and pigged out.  Crashed right after our early dinner.

Easter Sunday

We started Easter Sunday with our favourite hike with my BFF.
On top of Tiger's Head.

After we headed to Cheung Sha Beach and had our long Easter lunch.
It was very sunny but windy.

Best icecream!
