Tokyo diversion

Latest Posts, Shikoku posts

After battling the tourist hordes in Kyoto, we had three days battling the regular hordes in Tokyo

Ameyoko market
Omoide Yokocho lane near Shinjuku station. The lane is packed with tiny food establishments, often with only a few seats.
This crossing is adjacent to the famous Shibuya Crossing. Susan, Sam and Max are there somewhere – a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ moment

Expected behavioural norms
Part of the Imperial Palace in central Tokyo. A huge green space, the likes of which didn’t really exist in the other Japanese cities we visited on our walk
Ramen time. Order from the kiosk to the left, then take a seat! It turned cold, so we all bought and are wearing an extra layer of clothing from Japanese “Lifewear” clothing giant, Uniqlo

In 2009, we embarked on a one-year family sailing adventure aboard a Grand Soleil 39, "SV Mulan". Our original sailing blog is linked on this site. In 2017, Susan, Andrew, Sam & Max walked the Camino Frances from St-Jean-Pied-de-Porte to Santiago de Compostella (and rode bikes from Burgos to Leon as a blister recovery strategy), and in 2018 Jack also joined the crew as we waled the northern section of the Camino Portuguese from Porto to S de C. In 2019 Andrew, accompanied by Max for the first few hundred kms, and Susan for the Tiscan section, walked the via francigena from Canterbury to Rome. That journey is blogged in this site. This blog is planned as an alternative to the endless instagram posts used previously to communicate with those interested in our travels - although there is a linked instagram account as well!
