Our next tour was in October of the great city of Tokyo! We started out at the Tokyo Tower which has an observatory 150 meters above the city. It was a cloudy morning so we didn't get that great of a view.
Tony was still not back from sea to go with us on this one!

Next we went to the oldest temple in Tokyo called Sensoji. There we inhaled the burning incense to cure what ails us. We said some prayers and we each received our fortunes. Nick and I got good fortunes but Ally and Michael's were not so good. The tradition is you tie your bad fortune on a string there basically asking that they take the bad fortune back. I'm not sure that worked for Michael seeing how a week later he dislocated his elbow!
Our last part of the day was taking a cruise down the Sumida River that runs through Tokyo. It was very relaxing cruise after our long day of walking. We ended at the Hamarikyu garden park which was very pretty as well.
