Tokyo - Day 3

Bosco is a wizard at figuring out all our transportation needs. So nice to just be able to trust him and follow along! There are so many subway and train lines - they are well marked and a lot of English is on signs.

We were both stuffed from Lunch, so we chilled at hotel for a while and skipped dinner. We just had some snacks while we watched the Free projection show, in the park, in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

After the show we walked around the Shibuya area near our hotel again and went in our first Don Quixote Store ( Dollar type store on massive steroids ) this one had 8 floors of things you didn't even think you might want. It was packed at 1030 pm too! Also when is the last time you saw a phone booth - super clean too!

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

BALI, INDONESIA - MASON ELEPHANT SANTUARY

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
