Day 6... The Final Day

So after a very long nights rest, we woke up with some tender legs, but it was all worth while, we had completed what we set out to acheive Mission Successful!! With an early flight back on Sunday morning we decided to move hotels and stay in a hotel at Haneda airport which would mean we could have an extra hour in bed. So at 10:00 we headed in the bus off to the airport. Haneda airport is in the South of Tokyo and gave us an opportunity to meet some friends near Yokohama.
     Being masters of the subway system, a short journey soon saw us in the Yokohama station where we met up with Victoria, Vart and Jacob. We took the worlds fastest elevator up the Yokohama Landmark Tower (750m a minute), where we where able to take in some fantastic views of Yokohama and the surrounding area. After lunch we then headed down to the waterside, in typical Japanese fashion there was a little mini theme park where Vart and I had to have a go on the bright pink rollercoaster!! although it would appear that Vart and I are not the right size to fit in a Japanese rollercoaster. We then headed along some beautiful parks taking in the fascinating Japanese scenery and architecture. It was another hot day, so an ice cream was in order, an ice cream like you have never seen before. Imagine an icecream version of subway, by a choir! You pick which ice cream you want, they make it in front of you, whilst singing a song!! We have now realised that these random activities are fairly common in Japan!! We then headed off to a pier that looks like a boat from the outside (Osanbashi Pier), here to our amazement as we where walking down 5 gorgeous cars turned up and parked alongside us, 3x Lamborghini, 1 x X-Bow and 1 Ferrari. So after a few minutes I put my tongue back in and continued up the pier. Its amazing how busy the waterways around Tokyo and surrounding areas are. So a lovely final day in Japan, and thankyou to Victoria and Vart for showing us around. So we are now in our hotel room, which looks out onto a gorgeous runway, and 4 x ANA planes at the moment!!
