We woke up at 8:30 a.m. in Tokyo on a Tuesday and after coffee preparared to leave our Airbnb. We had amassed a large quantity of souvenirs and it was a job getting everything in the bags and cases.

We walked around for a bit before taking trains and the monorail to the airport. The views from the monorail were completely different in the light of day. Tokyo was clear and we saw Mt. Fuji so well that maiki gasped when they first spotted it.

We flew out at around 6pm and arrived home in the Bay Area at 10 am Tuesday. Just like the first flight maiki and I attempted to rest while Emma stayed awake. A bit of coffee got me home and we all went to sleep at 3pm in the afternoon – still Tuesday. It was our longest travel day ever but we made it!

Crossing a pedestrian bridge to buy one last roasted sweet potato at the market before we left. Sadly they were sold out. 🙁

Monrail views!

This view reminds me of San Francisco, where you turn the corner of a tall building in SOMA and there is the Bay Bridge.

Of course there is a Godzilla. 🙂
