We got:

  • Lots of Midori Traveller’s Notebook stuff (pen holder, monthly books)
  • Erasable Frixon pens (they are like magic)
  • A silver Lamy pen!!
  • Digger stickers and monkey socks for Eskil
  • Pens for Scott and Scott’s work friends
  • Post its
  • ETC

When we left we started walking towards the Imperial Palace. Eskil fell asleep in the carrier, so we had a bit rest at Starbucks (hooray for iced coffee!). We walked to the north of Tokyo station. We were all a bit hungry, so we went to the food court under Daimaru. Scott and I got bread rolls, and Eskil got a cupcake bigger than his head!

We couldn’t find anywhere to sit to eat our purchases and wound up on benches near the Imperial Palace.

We walked around the Imperial Palace and moats area, then back to Yūrakuchō train station where we made our way back to Ikebukuro on a very busy train.
