Woke up, breakfast at hotel and one final walk around Shinjuku before checking out.
Bus trip to Asakusa for a look around. Visit to Senjosi Temple which was rebuilt since being totally destroyed in World War II bombings. Heaps of shops and people. Lots of Japanese souvenirs which have been hard to find since Japanese are mostly obsessed with foreign objects generally.
The kids saw some Japanese kids playing baseball in the park and with Maria’s help (Grant’s mum on tour who has lived in Japan and can speak Japanese fluently) are invited to challenge the kids to a game of soccer. Fun way for the kids to meet the locals one more time and do what they love.
Another bus trip to Nagoya shopping mall for final meal and shopping and then to the airport.
Final goodbyes to the local Japan Coerver coaches, especially Ken and Eeto which have been great with the kids.
Thanks to Jason for organising the trip. Thanks to Bugsy and Adrian and Ed for their expert coaching and supervision of the kids.
Sayonara Japan. The memories are etched into the childrens' minds.
