Monday in Tokyo, and Then Off to Hiroshima

Monday in Tokyo, and Then Off to Hiroshima
Monday 5th June 2017
The first night's sleep pattern was obviously two good to be true, and on my second night I think I only managed about three hours sleep. Ho, hum. Spent the day working at my office in Tokyo but was struggling to stay awake. Left early to get a shinkansen to Hiroshima so I could be there in time for Erika's bedtime.

04:25:20 I was surprised by how early it got light in Tokyo. Unfortunately this also meant I didn't get back to sleep after this point.	04:49:44	08:08:02 Breakfast at my office in Tokyo.	08:24:15 A coffee at my office in Tokyo.

14:28:27 En route to Tokyo station I stopped off briefly to pay my respects at the vending machine bar.	14:30:06 Close up on one of the vending machines.	14:31:10 Nice pile of boxes.	14:31:57 The sign at the vending machine bar.

14:40:49 Look at th grime!	14:41:03	14:41:07	15:15:36 Knowing I might not be able to easily find a bento to eat on the shinkansen I instead had a second lunch mid-afternoon at T's Tan Tan Ramen in Tokyo station.

15:54:34 Waiting for my shinkansen I saw the staff from the previous shinksansen lining up to bow at the passengers as they got off.	16:38:48 Jagariko on the shinksanen. This is the new olive and garlic flavour. I enjoyed these!	18:00:42 As always rubbish attempts to take pictures of the view from the shinkansen.	18:05:43 Found this sign amusing, probably chiefly because of the difficulty of grasping the nuanced difference of "a" vs "the".

18:45:36 More views from the Shinkansen, maybe somewhere around Osaka?	19:02:07	19:04:55 Bit of a sunset, only an hour away from Hiroshima now!
