hotel

Hello fans all over the world;-)

We've left our mold smelling appartment and have moved into a big business hotel. It's not that we haven't been happy in the appartment, but the smell was so significant that Selma, once we stepped into our hotel room, exclaimed: It doesn't smell here!!! Quite right. It doesn't smell here. And it is almost as big as the apartment...And...Kristian and I get to sleep in matching pyjamas...sorry, no pictures of that - not yet at least.

Just to break the text up here a photo of the Japan travelling kids.

Having cleaned the appartment and moved here this morning, Kristian went to work, and I went out with the kids to explore our new neighbourhood (not as charming as 'the french quarters' where we came from). We bought some rice balls (the japanese version of a sandwich, which I might have to import to Denmark) and went to a playground. Not a very eventful day. But after the action packed weekend, I was accompanied by two very tired kids, thus, the playground itinerary would have to make do.

We spent sunday in the most beautiful 'temple-city' Kamakura just 50 minutes from Tokyo. It was absolutely fantastic. Temples everywhere. And the weather was gorgeous. Sadly, our photos don't reflect how amazing it was. But here a few anyway.






After a couple of hours we decided to go back to Tokyo, since we had to clean and pack, and we didn't want for the kids to have another late night. However...it seems there is always a however, whenever we try to plan a quiet day here...on the train back, we decided to get off in Yokohama on the way, since Göran had recommended we go for the city view from 69th floor of the Landmark Tower. An elevator whisked us up there in less than a minute. And again it was amazing being up that high. Strangely enough, it has such a calming effect. I guess, since you don't hear all the noise of the city.

From up there Selma spotted a small amusement park and we decided to reward her temple-watching-patience with a few rides.

Another very eventful day for small-big eyes. Too much to take in alone in the stroller.

And yes, you guessed it, thus, once again we got home just a little bit too late, but it was another great weekend. I wonder if I'll miss all the action, when we get home???!!!

I'm off to bed. Everyone else is sleeping (Kristian in his hotel pyjamas, which is really more of a nightgown...).

Good night!
