Once we'd done a few vital chores, we set off to Shinjuku. As always it was heaving with shoppers. We joined the throng heading for Times Square (actually not a square at all, but a large building housing a couple of giant department stores). It was lunchtime, so we went up to the top to check out the three levels of restaurants. On the 13th floor we found a fantastic roof garden.
I was absolutely bowled over by it, and we were really lucky to be able to get a table on the decking bordering it. We ate at a creperie that specialised in Breton galettes, and best of all it sold cidre bouche from the Rance valley!
The beds were stocked with beautiful trees and shrubs and had quite a European feel. From the edge there were fabulous views over the city, and the huge tree-filled green space of Shinjuku Gyoen was laid out close by.
After lunch we spent quite a while in a great outdoor-gear shop called L-Breath and treated ourselves to some sport sandals each, which we've both been desperate for.
On the way back home, Emily was drinking from the cap of a water bottle. She was really excited. Recently she is so interested in everything we eat and drink and wants to join in, so we've decided to start her on solids on her half birthday.
