Happy New Year!!!!
My mum came over from England for New Year, so Hana was very excited to see her Granny Wendy again!! She promised she would get Hana some pink boots when she came over, so we went to Yokohama for a bit of shopping………..
We decided to take a boat from Yamashita Park to Minato Mirai. The sun was shining and we got a great view of the harbor.
We searched high and low, and eventually found some pink boots!!
Then when we got the green light, we went back to the hotel for a rest before New Years Eve.
The next day we went to Yokohama Sea Paradise, and saw all kinds of sea creatures……..
Granny Wendy found a chocolate fountain in the restaurant we had lunch in, and brought some chocolate covered marsh mallow back to the table. Hana was very pleased!!!
Then the next day we went over to one of my student’s houses for dinner and a few drinks. The Takada family were very welcoming, and we had a lovely meal. Hana kept us all amused, and was definitely the star of the show!!
The next day we went up to Narita to see the family. It was really crowded as everyone was trying to get to the shrine for New Year, but we had nice meal and all the kids enjoyed playing together.
On the way back from the shrine we got some eel on skewers as it was something we hadn’t really eaten before……….
It tasted as bad as it looked!!!
Granny Wendy arrived with one suitcase full of presents and clothes!! Hana thinks its very funny that Maki and her now have matching clothes!!! Thank you Granny Wendy!!!!
Hope you all have a great 2012!!
