It was a sunny day though the air was a bit cool; we took Nick to our latest discovery, Asukayama Park. He brought along his latest acquisition, a digital SLR camera, as we had been having trouble getting it to focus. After a very frustrating hour or so we gave up and decided he would have to go back to the store to find out what the problem was. Emily headed straight for the elephant slide and then wanted to climb the castle. She spent ages in the 'turret' calling 'I'm the king of the castle' and had big smiles on her face as she rode the many slides.
After our picnic lunch, which she largely refused as she wanted to collect sticks under the trees, we found a quiet piece of lawn and tried out a new bubble wand.

On the way out we went in search of the splash pools Bettina had mentioned. They were certainly worth finding: several natural-style rock-strewn streams, pools and waterfalls, and not more than calf-deep on Emily.

Despite the cold water she insisted on removing all her clothes and pottered around contentedly in the buff! There were plenty of other kids playing there but she was the only naked one. Nick and I anxiously scanned the nearby adults to check that they weren't taking furtive snaps of her.
