Japan '06

A quick entry here - pouring rain when we left Hiroshima this morning and it rained the entire trip to Tokyo. Our Shinkansen train ride was uneventful. Unfortunately it was too rainy, foggy and Bernd couldn`t see Mt. Fuji. We hope to catch a glimpse on the way back to Osaka on Friday. Anyway, we arrived in the city around 3 pm and navigated our way through the subway system to our hotel. A cute place in a residential neighborhood. Because of the weather and our lack of energy we decided to have a vacation day and chilled out in the hotel. We caught some final bobsled and biathalon events - Germany wons some races, so Bernd was happy. He`s fighting off a cold so taking it easy was a good choice. So we`re wraping up the day at Kinkos and will watch a few hours of crazy Japanese television. Tomorrow the Tsujik fish market and the Toyota Park are on the agenda.....

Lange Zugfahrt nach Tokio in unserem ICE. War nicht spektakulaer,da es geschifft hat wie sau. Morgen sind ein paar coole Sachen auf dem Programm,wie all die anderen Tage. Allerdings keine Tempel mehr. Toyota Park usw.
