We met Bettina at Tamachi. station, but it was raining too much to get much pleasure out of a boat ride, so we carried on to get the Yurikamome over to Aqua City. Jo joined us, with Ollie in attendance, though he carried on a few stops to an interesting sounding onsen where they apparently have fish that nibble off dead skin from your feet.
We had some lunch then went to the jidokan in the mall. However, with much anguish the staff could not let Bettina in as she was not a Minato-ku resident, so we turned away and went down to the carpeted lounge area so that the babies could at least roll/crawl around. I finally got quarter of an hour of retail therapy and managed to buy some jeans and shoes.
As Mum and Bettina had been disappointed to miss the boat ride we returned on the Urban Launch, though it was raining heavily by then. A pity that the views around the bay were almost totally obscured, but I know that Mum always loves a ride on the water regardless.

Ugh, those tiny foot-chewing fish give me the creeps. I saw pictures of them a few years ago on the web, and the thought just makes me shudder.
Shame the weather's been gloomy; your mum must try to conjure up something sunnier in Hokkaido.
