We take our time coming to in the morning, enjoy the wide variety of breakfast food, Japanese and Western at the hotel buffet and decide we'll do that every day here, rather than search for other breakfast options before our day begins. Having booked through an agency, breakfat was not included.
Later we find the Japan Rail booking office and after very little waiting or delay, leave with a bundle of train tickets and seat bookings for the 3 week duration of the pass. $1600 gets us two regular price tickets as Ted doesn't think we need the first class ones. I had printed out the schedules before we left Canada so it was easy to check it all fit together.
Times Square is a huge shopping complex so we strolled around, and checked out the top 3 floors of restaurants. After a wash and nap back at the hotel we smarten up a bit for the first time and enjoy dinner at a nicer busy sushi restaurant, with dinner including one beer for $70. On the way out, we stop at the French style patisserie for chocolate mousse, decadent.
We have a big bathtub in our room, which I love, so I soak every night and hope it helps me sleep and get over jetlag which is still there for us both.WE also get one CNN news channel and a Japanese version of NY Times in English so are getting world news, if depressing.
