Today was a quiet day. I planned to visit a large park in the centre of Tokyo but ended up on the wrong train and by the time I realized it I was a couple of stops from Shinjuku so I decided to go there.
Turns out that the time I arrived was before store opening time so I took a walk over to the park near the station and wandered in the park for a while before sitting down by some turtles to read my book. While I was there I met a couple from Afghanistan who were enjoying their last day before heading back home.
The area I was sitting was behind a water feature and had run off falling into a small pool filled with rocks and a few turtles. The view was wonderful and the air was cool and slightly windy so I was very relaxed and generally at peace.
Afterwards I walked back to the station and did some exploring. I found a little cafe and had a delicious lunch followed up by dessert and then headed back home. Before heading up to the apartment I stopped in the 100 yen shop (dollar store) and picked up a couple of items.
All in all a very quiet and fun day.
