Adventure 4: Arriving in Tokyo

So after the quickest flight in history due to some serious stillnox induced snoozing, we have arrived in Tokyo.

After briefly getting lost (walking half an hour in the wrong direction) we managed to find Leon at the Sensoji Temple.


It's reeeeeeaaaaallllllly hot here! Scotty has been suffering from the heat quite badly and was even more bossy than ususal when we arrived.




Luckily, after we had some food and finally found the temple, she calmed down and we're now having a fantastic time as you can see





Yesterday we walked all around the area we have been staying and then took a break from the heat by relaxing on our roof top terrace with some $3 Asahis from the 7-11





Surrounded by the "beautiful" city-scape, the rooftop is surprisingly nice and catches a great breeze. The sign we're displaying here is what people do if they find you wandering in to places you aren't supposed to be, or are just doing something you shouldn't.



Yesterday afternoon was spent checking out the freaky sites of Akihabara (the electronics district). We went into a couple of fetish shops (Heroine, one that specialises in female super heros was a definite highlight) and ate some cake in a maid cafe.

The best tempura ever for dinner topped off a brilliant day, and like the party animals we are, we were in bed by 10pm.

Best thing ever to date: Coffee in a can!

  1. Bossy?? Not my girl! It was obviously Emma's decision to walk in the wrong direction! Can't believe you have done so much in a few short hours. Say hello to Leon for us. L&B
