The pleasant train and subway rides brought us right back to the same hotel that we'd stayed in with Tandy, but this time, only a tiny double room for me and Aaron. Despite the fact that we'd arrived on a friday night we decided to go to bed early due to the fact that Saturday would be a big day at Disneyland. Tokyo Disneyland Resort is massive, they have their own train system going around the whole thing, just to get you from one park to the other. Two parks? Why, yes of course, the same as Disneyland is to California Adventure in LA, Tokyo has Disneyland and Disney Sea. We decided to go to Disney Sea first and thought wrongly that we could get a park-hopper ticket, we'd have to buy a whole day pass ... read more

We had two days left in Tokyo and to be honest we were getting pretty lazy so we had booked ourselves on a full day and night tour of the city for today. We figured we'd get to see the main sights without too much bother and still have a day free to see anything else we'd missed out on. The tour company we'd booked with didn't pick up from any hotels in east Shinjuku so we had to get up early and trek over to one of the hotels in the west. Over near the Tokyo Park Hyatt - kinda nice to see how the other half lives. In the end we had a pretty full bus for the day. Sadly we had few annoying americans to provide amusement and to my great dismay our ... read more

Let me explain. There's a few reasons for our title, none of which mean we didn't enjoy our time in Japan. We enjoyed it immensely. We did find, however, that we had a bit more trouble communicating while we were in this country than we have had in other countries on our trip. First of all, on a purely logistic basis -- our mobiles and Blackberrys didn't work in Japan! Plus, Ted's laptop died and he had to have it sent back to the Sony factory to be fixed, so we didn't have his laptop for our time in Japan. So, communication with our life back in the US was limited to the time we could get on our sons' laptops -- Tyler was very generous with his, I should add. Secondly, we had a number ... read more

Første dag i tokyo lejede vi cykler af hotelejeren, til hele 50 danske kr for to cykler for en hel uge. Puuh det er dyrt i japan...... thomas var dog ikke helt tilfreds med at cyklen var en damemodel....men det hjalp på hans stolhed, da han så at ALLE japsere cykler på gamle damecykler. Så gik turen elleres over stok og sten gennem Japan i venstre side af vejen.....(det meste af tiden)...måske et mindre mirakkel vi stadig lever. Vores første mange stop gennem vores cykelseightseeingtur var hos ca 1000 forskellige teknikshops hvor der skulle tjekkes design og prisforskelle....det var spændenede.........hvad man ikke må ofre sig på, når man har en kæreste... Men da denne del var... overstået, besøgte vi en park, tokyo tower som er tokyos højeste bygningsværk (333m) (og som indeholdt mange ”interesante” udstillinger, bla. ... read more
