2009-Jul: Back to Tokyo Part I

By the grace of God, my mother and brother decided to have a short vacation at Tokyo this July 2009.
And jumping on board is my husband and myself =P
Much of the places we have already been to and we navigated around Tokyo as though we were citizens there. Tokyo is like our 2nd home :)

The last time we went Tokyo, we took the Airport Limo to our hotel, but this time we tried the Narita Express Train to Shinjuku Station. I feel that this is a much faster way :)

We went to Harajuku for lunch. It was pretty hot and swarmed with many people. I guess it is because of their summer holidays.

The weather on the 2nd day of our Tokyo was much hotter and the sky was in a nice blue color. We saw a cake bakery shop and was stunned by the beauty of their cakes over there. We were stunned by the prices too. :P

Next up, we went to visit Tokyo Tower. This is the 2nd time for my hubby and I but the first for my brother and mother. The weather was really good but still no signs of Mount Fuji.. ZZZzz
