Day 2 – Tokyo – Senso-Ji

Had two places to see today and that was Akehabara and Senso-Ji.

Went to Akehabara in the morning because we (me) wanted to go to the big electronics store.

Yodobashi-Akiba 7 floors of goodies

Bought a few things in here but not too much, i could spend hours looking through here, Mandy not so much so after a coffee break Mandy sat on a bench outside while i went back in.

Next to the entrance was a cat cafe..

Cat Cafe. was pretty busy too.
Mandy bought a cone thing – like a wrap with caramel, bananas, cream, almonds and icecream.

In the afternoon it was off to Senso-Ji Temple.

Was fantastic to walk around this place and there were a ton of people.

This was lunch! yum.

After a quick bite to eat it was back to the hotel to rest up and pack for tomorrow. Yes, after just getting the hang of the train system in Tokyo, we are out of here tomorrow morning and heading to Kyoto.
