Ueno and the peony garden

The picture explains what we did the minute we got to Ueno. We got Sakura Ice Cream and found some Sakura to eat it in. It just made sense. Most of the Sakura trees were wilting at this point, but in Ueno some have super strength and flower for longer. I could say Flower Power but, yeah they have Flower Power. Just glad we managed to find some late bloomers. Sigh

Then we just strolled around the park on our way back to the private flower garden. You can tell this impressed me much!
Quickly learned how to do the whole Macro thing using nothing but a hand held digital camera, I myself am happy with the results. These flowers are so big and so delicate looking. Almost like hand made paper.

Anyway the next day we went to Asakusa and Okikubo for one of the most famous Ramen shops in Tokyo, then Nakano for a quick peruse and back to Ikebukuro! Pics coming
