It's hard to say whether we were lucky or unlucky with the weather yesterday. It was a glorious day, lovely and sunny, a pleasant temperature, excellent for exploring.
The only problem with that was that everyone else thought so too, and it was public holiday.
We had intended to visit Ise Jingu on Saturday but the weather was awful so we deferred the visit to yesterday and went to the aquarium instead.
We should have gone in the rain!
There was a queue all down the road, with at least an hour's wait to get into the car park. The place was packed.
We gave up.
Kaori, Tatsuki, Lindsey and I hopped out of the car and went to look at a little shopping street. Austin went off to park the car.
The little shopping street was also packed!
There were places where there were fewer people
We met Austin at a convenience store down by a parking area down along the river and made our way towards home, stopping at a shopping mall for lunch en route.
We had pizzas from the shop next door for dinner.
And now we have reached Lindsey's last day. She's heading back to Australia tonight, for a conference on the Gold Coast. I'm staying on until Sunday. We have a number of things to achieve before she heads off, the most important of which is to pick up the glasses she ordered last week.
Pedestrian underpasses are very decorative in Japan:
