Our room.

Picture slightly reminiscent of Lost in Translation. Also I wanted to include my ridiculous orange suitcase, which I'd been forced to bring on this trip as my standard bag had gone mouldy.11:35:36
There was a nespresso machine in the room.11:36:07
Espresso and the view.12:29:34
In the queue for lunch at Al Dente in Shinjuku, an old favourite of ours which happens to be fairly close to the Park Hyatt.

Erika and Chie outside Al Dente.12:49:04
We've been seated now - here's Erika, Chie and two of the chefs.12:58:52
....and our food has arrived, every bit as delicious as it used to be!12:59:05
...and delighted to see Erika enjoyed it too.
12:59:07
I love this picture, Erika's level of conviction here is just staggering for a 3 year old.17:42:37
Early evening view from our room, after I had a bit of an afternoon nap.17:43:00

Erika also decided to have a nap. In fact we couldn't really wake her up again for the remainder of the evening.
19:48:27
I decided we should go to a kaiten sushi place near the hotel for dinner, in the hope Erika might wake up, but as it turned out she was determined to just sleep through dinner. I was quite impressed by this grilled corn sushi.20:04:12
Almost a picture of the three of us at the sushi place, but Chie is only just in shot, and you can't see Erika's face because she was determined to just sleep.20:51:41
Back at the hotel, a dimly lit can of Sapporo with the view behind it.
