The Birth Day - part 1

A relaxed start to the day.  A cup of tea in bed, a bit of electronic journal work, skype with the kids (happy birthday Yanna) and a generally lazy beginning.
Then - let Day 4 in Tokyo begin... off to Harajuku and Shibuya.  We caught the subway to Harajuku station and grabbed a coffee before entering the Meiji Jingu Gyoen Park.  A beautiful park alongside the huge skyscrapers that are everywhere.  The Temple within (Meiji Jingu) is a shrine to Emperor Meiji is a big one by Japanese standards and whilst not crowded it was very busy.  A lovely long walk through the park on what was shaping up to be a hot sunny day with a fair bit of wind.

Next we walked back south to investigate Omotesando and Shibuya.  See part 2.
