After lunch we walked around for some more, and eventually decided on playing some virtual golf. This would have been more fun if DH had remembered he was left handed
As the person setting it up asked which hand he used, and for some reason said Right
Even though were both lefties
So we had to play the whole game right handed, which is just weird
It was still fun though, except once you get within a certain distance of the hole it just jumps ahead to the next t off.
DH was way better at playing right handed compared to me. I was lucky to hit the ball in the right direction! Damn you wii! You made me feel like I knew how to play golf!
I thought I had photos, but turns out I just have videos...
On the way out I grabbed some ice cream from Baskin & Robins. I got a double chocolate or something, and something called love potion. I knew Id like the chocolate, but wow the love potion was amazing!
We started walking the long way back to our hotel. The plan was to freshen up and head out for some dinner, but on the way we stumbled on a place called The Watering Hole it was basically an Izakaya, but sold beers from micro breweries all around the world. It was a real find. DH loves a good beer.
We went in for a few drinks, but unfortunately they only sold beer and the food menu, which only has a couple of finger foods on it was only in Japanese, so we couldnt order any nibbles, and I dont drink. They brought me a glass of water, but it smelt a bit funny, so I didnt drink it. I try and only drink bottled water when on holidays, as theres too good a chance that something will upset my stomach.
We hung around here for over an hour though, and DH tried several different beers. We also found these.
Miss Piggy was in the ladies
Kermit was in the mens.
DH would be a regular here if it were closer to home.
We then started making our way back to the hotel. Once we got there and had freshened up we decided we didnt want to go far for dinner, so we decided wed try Tribeks which is a bit of a swanky looking restaurant inside CST, on the foyer level. We were given a voucher when we checked in, and I made sure to take it with us. Good thing too, the prices were pretty high.
We were seated at this amazing corner window table, with just breath taking views of Tokyo. We werent as high up here as what we were in our room, but because of how the restaurant is built into the hotel you would have views that span further then 180 degrees. We couldnt get over the view, and found ourselves mesmerised by the trains coming and going beneath us.
I ordered the chefs banquet, which gave me a starter, a main and a dessert. My starter was a cauliflower soup, my main was a steak with something, and my dessert was a cheesecake. The cauliflower soup was awesome. The steak was really tasty but the texture didnt seem as good as a steak you get back home, and the cheesecake was really nice too, but just plain cheese cake.
and some tropical looking drink.
DH got a tasting plate of deli meats proscuito, salami etc. Some duck as a main and a crème brulee for dessert. He raved about his meals. He could have gotten another tasting plate of meat it was that good. I didnt try any of the duck, but he was pretty impressed by it, and then I hogged his crème brulee because it was also pretty awesome.
This was the most expensive meal of the trip, even with the voucher, but it was worth it.
We then headed back up to our room in the elevator, commenting on how wed managed to leave the best until last.
Next up our time in Kyoto!
Better go write it...
It's funny because it's lower then the view from our hotel room, but because it went around corners it was amazing!
