Peninsula Lunch!

We decided to have lunch at the Peninsula and order the DUCK! You know me, I am a duck lover.

We were placed in a small private room and we ordered assorted dimsum and of course the duck. We were joined by MAA and Wolfy and had fun chatting about what we should do and where to go.





The cutest shrimp dumpling I have ever had to swallow!









The best thing about the lunch.....it was a treat! Best things in life are FREE!!!

Tokyo, First Night.

We walked around the area, making sure we don't stray too far since we are in unfamiliar grounds. It was also drizzling and windy and very cold. We chose a small, bright and warm place to have our dinner. The waiters and sushi masters were really friendly. It was easy to order because all you have to do is to point at what you want from the menu. They also seem to know more English than the people from Hong Kong. I love the service and their attitude to assist always with a smile and a bow.






After dinner, we had to walk off all the food that we ate and saw this beautiful flower shop that just opened that afternoon.






It was too cold and we wanted to try out the Peninsula SPA. I didn't bring my gym clothes but I did have my bathing suit. The two girls worked on the treadmill and I worked on my 20 laps. I succeeded but later on, I regretted it BIG TIME.




Your bloggerina had the pool ALL to herself until a super hairy man came and swam. Time to go. :)


We were all tired and was able to sleep soundly.

Tokyo, Day One.

On my way home to Manila, I was already thinking about how I would start my blog about my Tokyo trip. I have 380 photos which I want to share but of course I don't want you to get bored with it.

We did so much in the 5 days that we were there and I want to tell you guys about it in detail but that would take me years.

Let me start by showing you my travel buddies. When we arrived, we had to open up our luggage inside the airport to get the thick clothing out. It was so cold!!!

Our sweet suite!! 2 beds with a sofa bed for Joie. We put her there because she got to fly business class anyway. SC and I were somewhat punishing her but come to think of it, she had a bigger bed all to herself!

What I will most about Tokyo are the toilets. The heated seats, robotic functions, heated water wash, massage and as soon as you enter the toilet area, the cover automatically opens up. I mean, talk about spoiled! But seriously, these toilets were made for hygienic purposes. You don't even need to touch any part of the toilet seat. Ok, enough about the toilet.

In our room, we had our own LAVAZZA coffee machine and boy oh boy...we used it to the max!!! We must have had 7 cups a day because it was so good (and free). Regular cup of coffee in the lobby or bakery is $9.00. Imagine that!

They knew three girls were coming so they were very prepared with everything in sets of three. Such service!!

Our walk in closet was spacious enough for the three of us but after a 2 days, it was beginning to look like a war zone. This is when our luggage was still intact.

Executive Chef, Adam Mathis prepared a little something for our arrival. Sweets and assorted fresh vegetables with 4 kinds of dip.
