Ahh Mr Bond, I've been expecting you!

Started this morning with a breakfast roll - sausage in a bun that's pre-packaged like that but strangely not chilled - and a jelly drink. The breakfast roll was surprisingly tasty, the jelly drink on the other hand was like broken up jelly in a slightly sparkly, sugary drink. Had to be tried once!

First stop today was at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building which has a free viewing platform on the top floor. The building is described as looking like something out of Gotham City and they're not wrong. Unfortunately, Craig managed to delete all the pics he took so we might be swinging back that way tomorrow.

Next we headed back to Shinjuku Park which was even busier than it was on Friday when we first went. Craig managed to get some 360's done, will have to wait and see how they come out.

After lunch we managed to navigate the train system (with some help from a very nice man at Osaki Station) to get to Odaiba, which is built on re-claimed land. The reason for going was to see the rainbow bridge but before that lit up we had a walk along the beach/waterfront. Incidentally the station we got off at was called Tokyo Teleport, which seemed rather apt as we found ourselves coming across the Statue of Liberty - see the pics, I've not got sun stroke!

After some more food, we waited for it to get dark and for the lights to come on on the rainbow bridge. Didn't quite live up to it's name but still looked fairly stunning and again Craig got lots of pics.

And just in case you were wondering about the Bond reference, as you'll see below, Dr Kno has put his lottery win to good use....!!
