Tokyo

Hello all and welcome to the first post from overseas. We spent the last 3 nights in Tokyo staying just 2 stops out of Shinjinku at the Hatagaya station. It was a relatively quiet neighborhood but still busy to Perth standards. The flight was quiet good as we all were in an emergency exit row so had plenty of leg room and no screaming kids. The train ride from the airport to the hotel took like 3 hours though. Our first day was spent wandering aimlessly and ending up in Shinjuku for dinner.





The next day was spent at Tokyo Disney!!! The world busiest theme park!!! There was a line for all the popcorn stands that would have been at least 30 mins long!! So the day was spent lining up for rides, lining up for food, lining up for the toilet etc. The longest line we saw was for the Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster, 240mins!!!! We embraced the line for Space Mountain for 2 hours! was hard at times but the end result was worth it! One very cool roller coaster that was.



The Following day was spent sight seeing around Tokyo. Ueno Park was first up to go and see the cherry blossoms. Then off to a big temple. Then Venus Fort shopping center. As it was raining we didn't bother to go up Tokyo tower. Ok the internet where we are staying in Vancouver is rubbish! so i will upload some pics later
