Last day























Last full day today.  Having packed most of our belongings yesterday, we headed off this morning to Setagaya and the Boro Ichi markets.  The instructions to get there basically gave the train stop then "just follow the crowd".  Boy, was there a crowd!  We managed to see a few really interesting stalls in between being pushed and jostled along.  The best buy of the day was the yakisoba and the okonomiyaki.  It was freezing in the shadows with a strong wind and after wandering around for a couple of hours, watching the marching band make their way through the crowd, we decided we had all had enough and headed back to the hotel, stopping at a department store in Shibuya to purchase some bentos for lunch.  Finalised our packing this afternoon and the kids had a final play in the park and managed to score a play on the basketball court.  By this time tomorrow night we shall be ready to board our flight home.  Sayonara Tokyo.  Hope you have enjoyed our trip as much as we have.

PS - Hey Jacob, don't forget to come pick us up!
