Oh no!! We're behind!!! We know, we know...in all fairness, we've been in Kyoto, with no internet access, for the past couple of days. But we've been taking LOTS of pictures =)November 2nd we spent in Tokyo. We took a train to Tokyo station and proceeded to wander for the next 6 hours or so. Let me tell you, our feet were TIRED that night! 4 years ago when Andrew was here, he wandered out of Toyko station and stumbled across the Imperial Palace...we tried to replicate that, and wound up...elsewhere. Well, kinda. We found the back of the palace, then tried to walk around to the front. After almost completely circling the palace, we gave up, and headed off in a random direction.
We're all ready to go!
Our train station
This is what we found upon exiting Tokyo Station:
A corner of the Imperial Palace! 
Oh, it's picture time!
So we set off away from the Imperial Palace grounds, having been unsuccessful in finding the Palace front, and frankly, because we were getting bored of looping round the Palace. In our non-Palace wanderings, we managed to walk right into Yasu Kuni Shrine, a controversial shrine where WWII war criminals are enshrined. Go figure! Andrew says he's got luck when it comes to wandering and finding, and it certainly proved true in this instance! Check it out:
