Leaving Karuizawa for Tokyo.
It's sunny for a change. Too bad we're leaving. (bleah) I'll be missing the heated toilet seat.
And we didn't get to see any red leaves, and red leaves were the very reason we chose Karuizawa in the first place. (bleah x 2)
The transport to our next hotel is surprisingly uneventful. We sort of cruised through the train system and the streets right into the Shibuya Excel, without having to consult the map or ask anyone.
Then, straight off to shopping in Harajuku. I went nuts buying Monokuro Boo stuff in Kiddy Land, while Jessie went nuts elsewhere. Then it's Starbucks-hunting time.
Dinner at Ichiran (一蘭). It's set up as two rows of solitary stalls for noodles, not unlike the partitioned seats in libraries. It feels pathologically lonely eating there.
Yay! Internet access is free in our hotel here. Uploaded the entire backlog of journals.
