Electronics heaven
But still a mecca for electronic gadgets. Then it was the monorail to Odaiba a waterfront resort full of shopping and entertainment. First stop was the Museum of Maritime Science (in a building shaped like an ocean liner).
Who put him at the helm
Then on board the Soya a retired Antartic Observation Vessel.From their we wlked up past the Telecom Centre and the Museum of emerging science and innovation. We left our run a bit late and so couldn't get in toi see much but we were very taken with the revolving globe of screens showing the Earth in rotation.
Got the World on a string
Also the architectural style of the building was quite amazing (Jonelle you will love these pics - note the Leaves suspended from the ceiling)We then ventured over to the Toyota Motor show to see some of the latest and bizare,

checked out the big ferris wheel and then ventured to a Shopping Mall called Venus Fort
Venus Fort
which literally transports you to another time and place with Prices to match, but well worth the visit and a great place for a meal with atmosphere.

Good to hear from you
Hey guys,
Good to hear things are going well and that your so busy you cant update...that's the way it's supposed to be. Maybe that's what plane and train trips should be about, updating. It all looks fantastic and can't wait to see the latest photos.
Just to update you on us. Was supposed to go in to get induced today but Caitlyn has been very sick with viral laryngitis, so I postponed. See the Dr on Monday and then find out when from there. Otherwise all is fine.
Luv
Jen
