Day 2 in Tokyo - Today was much more relaxed and focused on Contemporary Japan!
You know I am always seeking out the coolest architecture wherever we go and below were some of my favorites.
We explored our favorite place to say TAKESHITA STREET. Lots of oddities to see.
Had a yummy Sushi lunch, where I discovered a new favorite soft drink Yuzo ( lemon - lime flavor).
For a special treat we went to a fancy dinner at MoonFlower. The restaurant only takes 8 diners a night and the whole meal is presented as an art interactive art piece. Nine course - seven were amazing! Saga the top cut of Waga Beef melted in your mouth. I never knew beef could taste so good!!!!

I really enjoyed my first trip to Thailand! On our final morning here we went to try breakfast at this spot, down the road, we had been hearing rave reviews on, King Of Bread . The hype was correct, the breakfast was delicious and they had some unique choices. I had eggs benedict on a croissant, in lieu of the standard english muffin and Bosco had it on Milk Bread, which was equally tasty.

We love having authentic experiences with locals to really get a chance to see how they live and thrive in the Ports we visit. So when I found a cooking class, by a local woman offered in her home, we were excited to book. Um ( our teacher) picked us and brought us back to our hotel along with the family of 4 from Sydney, Australia, that had also signed up for this afternoon class. Um's house, which has a lovely open air kitchen, garden and dining area, was about a 30 minute drive and turned out to be on the beach, right next to the Grandparent Rocks.
