After a messy 'lunch' (10.30am) for Emily,
we had an afternoon jaunt to Hibiya Park to make the most of some unexpected good weather. As always, the shopping crowds around Yurakucho station were hard to navigate but we were soon in the tranquility of the nearby green space; that is, until we discovered that there was some kind of open air talent contest being staged there. We kept coming across little knots of singers practising, and more annoyingly, a band doing a rather tuneless sound check right by the little lake.
Emily practised using her beaker, though most of the water ended up down her front.
We sat and enjoyed the fountain and the fish, ducks and turtles despite the racket, until an old man arrived on a bike and announced that the shelter we were sitting under was his house. I've no idea if he was serious or not. He was quite amiable though, and insisted on giving Emily a couple of strips of cartoon stickers.
Afterwards we went to the play area and gave her a go on the slide and the rocker, but she didn't seem to enjoy it much (but I did!).
