Last few days in Japan

I was Home Alone on Thursday. I wandered across to the Lawsons convenience store for supplies for lunch and then went for a gentle amble around the local area

This is, allegedly, the first beagle
cafe in Japan
Sadly. it doesn't open until
the end of the month

On Friday Austin came home at lunchtime. We went back out to Costco. I may have re-opened my Costco membership, although I haven't activated it yet. I need to take my online card to a service point to get it authorised and it seemed a bit reckless to do that in Japan. It can wait until I am able to get to an Australian branch.

We went out to a mall for lunch on Saturday. Unfortunately, Kaori wasn't very well so didn't enjoy the day much.

This just has to be an Aussie Santa
and you would hope it is Boxing Day
otherwise a lot of children will be very disappointed!

Kaori was not well enough to join us for dinner on Saturday evening. Austin, Tatsuki and I went to the Big Guy steak and burger joint

It was certainly tasty
Not sure how healthy it was!

This was probably quite healthy
Corn soup and sald

This was not
Triple cheese and bacon burger with
mashed potato

and mushroom gravy

This was a tiny hotplate
for crisping the bacon
and cooking the middle of
the burger to your liking

Open salad bar
Tatsuki helped himself to orange slices
and broccoli 😀

(Some of these photos are Austin's)

And so we come to my final day for this trip

Austin and I took Tatsuki for his Sunday swimming lesson. Austin and I did not stay to watch it. We went to the nearby Donki. I wanted some KitKats and a strap for the new black bag I bought the other day when it was clear I had room in my suitcase for all the snacks and omiyage or my clothes, but not both.
