Last Day in Tokyo




We took our last day in Tokyo pretty easy and didn't get out of the hotel until way into the evening. We went by the temple and the kids got some swim time at the hotel pool then in the evening we went to Pallet Town, it's by the dock area of Tokyo and has one of three giant Ferris wheels you see shining in the Tokyo night sky. We where able to all climb inside one of the carts for the Ferris wheel and get a good view of the city from there. I have to say the best part of the trip though was the train ride through Tokyo, where before we had always travelled on the subway and not seen much of the city as we travelled from spot to spot the whole of this trip was at city level so we zipped our way through the city and around the skyscraper, we where able to see inside office buildings and living rooms and well as see has great the city looked it was a truly enjoyable ride. There are so many other cool things to do in the pallet district during the day time with children, it has a maritime museum, hands on science museum and a Toyota show room, we where able to spent some time in that testing out cars and playing in some formula one racing simulators.
