Destination Tokyo Tower, Ginza Street, Shibuya

AFTER LUNCH, we were taken to Tokyo Tower...
A communication and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato and Tokyo with a height of 333 meters, it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world.

Next destination is the Ginza area, known as an upmarket or should I say, high end area with lots of branded stuff.  Of course, I could only go window shopping, just look see the Burberry, Blue Label, Celine among others....

For dinner, we had Shabu-Shabu... not sure what it is called in Japan, as far as I am concerned, I call it steamboat... LOL...

After dinner, we checked in to our hotel which is connected to a shopping mall.  Too bad it closes at 9pm, some even earlier... anyway, I was really tired by then.... once hit the pillows, it was ZZZZzzzz for me!
Taken at Tokyo Tower.... 
From the ground level...
And scenery from above the high tower.... 
Don't look down.. just at eye level...
They have a mini Skywalk Window up here..... 
My legs turned "jelly" when I stepped on it.... 
Looking down from the skywalk... 
One of my legs... 

At Ginza area.. high end... so I noticed not many shoppers....
Perhaps it was a weekday.... 
But it is not the case in Shibuya, the most busy intersection in the world... 
Well, rumoured to be... 
It is like a giant beating heart, sending people in all directions with every traffic light change... 
At peak times, it is said to be over 1000 people at this intersection... 
All I see is humans and more humans..... 
And it was not even the peak hour...... 
Then...
Dinner time!
Endless food... Buffet style.... 
Satisfaction Guaranteed!!  LOL...

  4. I remember Ginza, was there in the 80's so very long ago. I think I went to Tokyo Tower too. Can't remember much other than everything was so expensive. I am sure it is very much more so now.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
