Nick was set to study all day so we went across to Odaiba with Charlize, Cliff and Roy. The girls got gradually plastered in the sandy mud on the manmade beach there.
I took the kite and as it was quite breezy I finally managed to get it aloft, with a little bit of help to get started from Cliff.
We adjourned to Sizzler for lunch, and again, as I sat on the deck there surveying the magnificent view over the city and the bay I thought that things aren't so bad here, though there are also some great views to be had from riverfront eateries along the Thames.
Emily and Charlize played by the shore for half an hour, at which time Emily did a huge and overdue number two after a few false starts. That meant that we missed the launch back over to Shibaura, but Cliff pointed out that there was another boat about to depart for Hinode pier so we quickly got tickets and went on board. The trip lasted a bit longer than expected as I think it did a detour so that passengers could have a deko at a moored US frigate, complete with stars and stripes proudly flapping and armed guards on display.
