Morning in Hakodate, Off to Aomori
It was a jet-lag victory: slept in ’till 7:00AM! We all headed to the local fish market for breakfast of course, and adventures were had. The abalone was a bit of a shock. It was large, and every now and then would give a small slow squirm. We didn’t really know how to approach it,… Continue reading

Sorry about that, something about a lack of mattress must have disturbed my sleep 😀 For our final breakfast in Japan, we obviously had to return… Continue reading

Breakfast at Osaka Fish Market
But now it’s another morning in Osaka, and so we are off on another adventure. Robert did a ton of research for this trip, including reading some (translated) Japanese blogs of things to do here and there. One of these local bloggers highly recommended a tiny sushi restaurant hidden deep in the middle of the… Continue reading

Waking Up in Tokyo
Managed to sleep in ’till 6:15AM our first morning. Considering the giant time change, that was quite a victory. Maybe last night’s Japanese Whiskeys helped? 😀 In any event we leapt out of bed, anxious to get out & about. Tokyo’s obviously a gigantic urban sprawl but it has many many green spaces tucked in… Continue reading
