It was Sunday, and I had a free day which wasn’t initially planned. The weather was good, so I knew that I had to visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and get some photos of the surrounding skyscrapers from up there. After that, I knew I would be going to a park, but I decided to make the decision of which park, dependent on which platform of the Yamanote Line I happened to find first. (LOL)

On waking up I was able to appreciate the Hotel Grand Palace, it’s quite a good place. Shame the only reason I got to see it was due to an emergency booking, and also a shame that I only got a couple of hours of waking time in the hotel.
I was up early, making calls to book for another hotel.

Ah, day fourteen… the end of the trip.
Or was it?

(Finally, some time for more catch-up.)
Day thirteen was my last full day in Tokyo. As there were a number of things people had requested me to find that I hadn’t found yet, I decided to devote the middle of the day to one last shopping spree, as the evening was already covered by a booking to go see a play at the Kabuki theatre.

As Tokyo was starting to become expensive (in terms of shopping anyway, and other things) I booked two days worth of tours further away from the city to fill larger quantities of time without spending too much money.

I know I haven’t posted all the holiday entries yet but I thought I’d mention (for those of you who might be wondering) that I’m back in Sydney as of Tuesday morning. I was supposed to be back Saturday morning but there were a few fun issues getting home which I’ve already written up in entries which need further checking and editing.
The remaining holiday entries will probably be finished at a rate of one per day until I reach the group of more recent ones which have already been written or until the weekend is reached, whichever comes first. And once I finally have those out of the way, I can start looking at the photos.

On day ten I had planned to go to Shinjuku to check out the observatory of the Metropolitan Government Building. But visibility was poor, and indeed it rained again.
I did manage to book the rest of the week’s tours, though. [Note: turned out that the weather wasn’t actually so bad on the days when I actually had to leave the metropolis. Lucky.]

I originally had more plans for the weekend, but it turned out being much more quiet than I’d originally planned.
