On Tuesday, October 17th, after breakfast
on the 40th floor, we left the hotel at 9 am on the Trafalgar
bus.
We went to the Edo-Tokyo Museum, and spent about an
hour there touring one hall and in the Gift shop. You are not allowed to take pictures of some
things, but the Guides there will assist you. The Museum
was busy, but not jam packed.
Then we went to Electric Town - a bunch of stores
selling electronics. There was also a
costume shop there. We only had about an
hour, so decided to eat lunch at Tully's Coffee Shop. I had a hot dog - unfortunately, not a
Chicago dog - and a frozen drink ($8).
There was a glass paneled room there - a Smoking room.
Back on the bus, and we then toured the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace - very nice.
After that, back to hotel. That night, we left from the back entrance of the
hotel and walked about two blocks to an Italian eatery, Palermo, for
dinner. We had pasta with gorgonzola
sauce, chicken with potatoes with lemon herb sauce and two glasses of wine ($32) - good dinner.
