Sorry I didn't post yesterday.
Went out for dinner at a little grill bar and met a lovely couple from Nagano.
We had a few beers and Iche Moli, which is a mixture of skewered grilled meats.
This was classic peasent food and very tasty. There was chicken stomach, breast cartlidge, skin and mince. After this had some Umeshou, my new drink of choice.
Made from sweet plums and damned tasty. This is the stuff you can get in 711 too!
So, went to imperial palace gardens for a little bit this morning, nothing too exciting as could not go inside today!! will have to do this again when I am back in Tokyo.
Some cormarants in one of the moats and a statue of Kusunoki Masashige, some samurai dude.
Also wandered around Ginza, very classy. After this caught a train to Nikko.
Nikko, beautifull, cool and tranquil. I may have found a great place for you and dad, mum.
It's called Nikko Park Lodge. Western but the location is great. I think dad could tollerate this and you would be very happy with the surrounds. There are a few waterfalls and shrines around. Its in the middle of this forest but still easy to get to. On the way I went through Utsunomiya which looked quite traditional and is an interchange point so I will probably end up wandering around there abit later on.
Oh, the rail system suck's. I caught the train Nikko, train is called yamabiko and the destination was morioka!!? No mention of nikko.
Anyhow, on a time limit here so gotta go.
