Rain Rain Go Away!

So, exit our hostel....RAIN, not too heavy but good enough to get you wet on your longer walk. So back into the hostel to get ponchos and windbreakers. Well I decided just my windbreaker. By the time we got to the fishmarket it was soaked and so was I. No singing in the rain for me. We were wandering in the fish market...

Fish Heads Anyone?



Bloody something or other...



Cool Octo!



Huge Fish*(@&$()*



Eggy Goodness for Breakfast



Then it was heading back towards the station to go to the Gardens. On the way stopped to pick up some yummy food - Grace wasn't too fond of it, it was cold.



Had to buy an Umbrella..ella..ella..a
(ps. Grace is blue, hehe)



We're walking, we're walking, and we're stopping.
Arrive at the Hamarikyu Gardens and get this, not open for another 20m. So here we are stuck out in the rain waiting for the gates to open and let us in!

Finally entrance was gained - no doubt about it, it was beautiful.

300 year old Pine



Can't you just see Amelie skipping rocks?!



I know I know, not suppose to feed the animals - but it was the crazy garden cats! But we had to sit under this rest area to dry off, write postcards, and well...rest.



Wisteria Wisteria



Surprise its a Shrine



Back to the station, we were walkin' yes indeed. Saw an awesome building its called the Capsule Building.

I've been meaning to ask how the weather is. On a scale of Sweden to Greece, how warm is it?

Weather...Like Hawaii...

So basically the heat of Greece meets the rain of Denmark and you've got humid!

That sounds wonderful! I didn't watch the video with sound the first time. I love the whispered "I like crazed animals" at the end haha
