Osaka day two and then off to Tokyo
This morning we spent the day touring the Imperial Palace in Osaka. It was an impressive site, surrounded by 5 rivers that acted as a moat, it rose over the city. We stopped for a few photo ops and then into the Palace. We took the elevator to the 5th floor, 2 more sets of steps and out to the deck. What a site, it was amazing to see how big Osaka really is. On the way down Noah and Rik stopped to dress as samurai warriors. Rik looked so good two girls had to have their picture taken with him!!
From there it was back on the bullet and train and back to Tokyo. We stopped and picked up fresh sushi for the ride back, yum!! Back in Tokyo we made to to our hotel in the Ginza district. Ginza is like Park Ave and 5th ave rolled into one. It was fun to window shop at Mikimoto, Burberry's, Chanel and Louis V's to name a few. I have never seen so many high end shops in one place. Later we wondered the streets checking out the neon lights and settled on a Sri lankan dinner. It was very tasty but it still seemed very similar to some of the meals we have had. We retired to the hotel looking forward to tomorrow and my last day with Rik :(.
