After breakfast we walked to the Hamarikyu Gardens. These gardens are a typical example of the famous gardens of the Edo Period. Again, we were lucky enough to see blossom on some of the trees.
Making the most of the sunny, but cold, weather we then got the Suijo- water bus- from the gardens to Asakusa. Travelling down the Sumida River was a great way to see some of Tokyo's riverborne heritage.
Arrived in Asakusa and enjoyed our lunch near the Sensi-Jo Temple. Found some more backstreets to wander around- seeing more of the 'real Japan' rather than all of the tourist areas. Ended up spending a bit more yen.
My Mastercard is quickly becoming my very flexible friend!

Glad you are having a nice time in Tokyo- I will be expecting you both to teach me some Japanese on your return! I only know 'itchy knee!!!' (ha ha- there's two numbers in there somewhere!)
See you soon. A xx
