Sunday was a travel day. We took 4 trains from Nikko to Ise.
 |
| Nikko Train Station |
1) 10:06 train Nikko to Utsunomiya
 |
| It was really more of a long distance subway |
2) 10:58 train Utsunomiya to Tokyo
3) 12:03 train Tokyo to Nagoya
4) 14:37 train Nagoya to Ise
 |
| We were in the first car, it was interesting to watch the conductor. He gave a lot of hand signals at what appeared to be specified times, though we couldn't see anyone watching. |
We arrived at 16:06 into Ise, walked to our hotel and eventually wandered towards dinner somewhere. My friend and I took a long walk, checking out some of the city along the way, eventually ending up at a large supermarket (I always like to visit supermarkets in foreign countries....it gives one such a good sense of the culture) and a 100 yen store, the Japanese equivalent of a dollar store. Thankfully for my suitcase, it was just closing!

 |
| Such unique architecture |
 |
| Cell phone kitty! |

| Outside a cemetery |
 |
| These statues in the cemetery scared the crap out of me when we first walked by, I thought they were real people! |
 |
| I found the truth! |
 |
After all our walking we ended up with a convenience store dinner:
Chicken curry with rice, some random beverage that I can only
explain as "it tastes pink" and brownie bites for dessert. |
