Today was my first day of relaxing for the last couple of months…..looks like tomorrow is going to be my last for a few weeks too, my parents and Kate and Tim are visiting soon and work are looking for people to go on field test trips over the next couple of weeks.
I found the garden and petshop on the roof of the Tokyu store in Shibuya, you have to nip off down a dimly lit corridor, up some uninviting stairs and out the mirrored doors. There seemed to be a putting green too, with just one hole, but noone was playing.
Then it was time for another random train journey, I decided to wander back toward the station and get on the first line I’d not been on before….I ended up getting off at a station on a bridge over a river estuary. Down at the riverbank I found a landscaped and constructed island park guarded by some sinister looking security men. They didn’t stop me going over the bridge though.
Plenty of opportunities for potential shots for Elizabeth’s Photo Competition II.
A quick stop for a cheesy steak sandwich and crisps, then on to another randomly chosen station (I really should remember these places, shouldn’t I?), where there was nothing in the way of interesting shops. Specifically no record shops – don’t these people buy music? Small places on the edges of big cities often have good second hand record shops, but, sadly, not all.
Now back home and listening to cheesy rock I found in Finland, trying to figure out what to do tomorrow – the Meiji-dori walk isn’t finished yet, but its been such a long time since I was last out on it that I can’t remember where I got to. I’ve got a photo of the station, so I’ll recognise it when I get there, but the resolution isn’t good enough that I know which station it was. Ooops.
