Tokyo - day 2

Woke up really early and didn't feel tired at all.

After checking e-mails etc., it was time to find some breakfast. Ended up in a sandwich shop or cafe.

Came back to the hotel to get my camera and headed for the train station.

After a while we were back in Tokyo and headed out to find the Imperial Palace. First we had to find the right exit out of the station, and when we did we didn't really know where we were supposed to go.

An American guy working in Japan happened to pass us and gave us directions.


After a couple of minutes on foot we arrived at the Imperial Palace gardens.

Most of the time it was raining and after a while we went inside for some coffee.

After the caffeine, we headed for the subway and took a train to Shinjuku. Managed to find a pretty cool record store during our walking.

Did more walking around and had lunch in a noodle shop. Ordering was easy, look at the menu with pictures and tell the guy what number you want. I got 12 which was noodles with some onions, seaweed and pork.

After our late lunch, we headed for Harajuku. There we did the same thing we seem to do every day, walk around and look.

Harajuku has a lot of small clothing stores with funny names.

Went for a cold drink and apparently Corona spoken with an English accent sounds like Coca Cola.... Fosters said in with a Finnish accent on the other hand is still a Fosters.

Before leaving Harajuku, it was time for yet another coffee.

We've learned that ordering capuccino is better than trying to order a black coffee. I got my capuccino and AdZ got a iced black coffee. At least it wasn't a Coke this time.

The day was starting to become evening, so we went back to Shinjuku before heading back to our hotel.
