Mini pie pastries


I bought these from a shop at Narita Airport on our way back coz the sample looked really pretty and yummy! Hehehe.. I've been keeping them since as they were so pretty I kind of couldn't bear to eat them! :P (to make matter worse, its only one of each in the box)
But last week, I finally opened up the packaging (rather unwillingly) and we tried them. Oh.. they were rather yummy! But more pretty than yummy though! :P

Day 12- Kyoto–HongKong

Today we left our hotel in kyoto real early at about 7am.
1st time we had to get up so early and drang ourselves out of the hotel, with baggage in tow.
Phew, only then did I realise how the stash has built out and gotten a little out of hand.
It was heavy and a chore lugging it down kyoto street. :(

We made our way to the subway station to catch the train back to Tokyo. Its took about close to 2 hours on the train.
And we had to transfer at Tokyo to the Airport Express train to Narita.
If you have not been to Tokyo, let me tell you Tokyo station is a big challenge.
Especially when you have like only 20 min to get from 1 platform to the other!!
But we made it! With mad crowds and silly luggage in tow. But it wasn't the least bit fun :S

From Tokyo, it took close to an hour to get to Narita.
After which we climbed aboard our plane to get us to Hong Kong.
Geez... a whole day of travelling/running around!
But here we are in Hong Kong!
My foot's hurting a little from all the walking we've been doing. Really hope I'll be ok tomorrow...
got shopping to do and things to see! heeehheeee....

Can't post pics up coz we have to use the hotel's internet lobby as they charge for in room internet connection.
Haiz, another reason to make me miss Japan! (They provided us internet over there for FREE! :S)

Day 7-Hakone

We moved on to Hakone to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji.
Being on a hill, its also real cold like being on Nikko.
The bus ride up the mountain took about an hour of twisting and turning, which wasn't very good. :S
We stayed at Yugisori.


Our japanese style room there.
Yugisori also had a hot bath which was great on a cold day! :P
But no internet there, so this post is a bit late.

They also served a great dinner. And I mean a GREAT BIG dinner. Hahhhaa

And I got dressed in a Yukata! :) hehehhee....

After dinner they set up the futons for bed. They look nice dun they?
But, not as comfortable as our mattress coz it kind of hard.

We be moving on to Kyoto next. Will post more pictures soon!
