Our Travels In Japan (and other places): Morioka to Tokyo

Not a very exciting day, but a productive one. We packed up our bikes this morning in different ways: Sumi very quickly, ignoring much of the protective items, with lots of swearing and repeated packing of the trailer to make everything fit, me a bit more methodically, carefully using all of the protective items, and one packing of the trailer. Both were effective, in their own way, though mine was a bit faster and with much less stress.

Over to the nearby 7-11 to ship the trailers and duffel bags, leaving only what we needed in our backpacks, and we were ready to head back to Tokyo. Buying our Shinkansen tickets, one last meal at Coco Curry, a two hour train ride, and we were back at Ueno Station. 15 minutes later we were checking back into Toukaisou for our last four days.

All that was left to do was laundry (yay), so we walked over to the local sentou (public bath), I babysat the laundry and Sumi took a walk by Sensouji Temple looking for Pokémon and taking pictures. We grabbed some stuff for breakfasts (cereal and milk) at the Don Quixote (which is shortened by the locals to Donki, or Donkey, yet has a mascot of a penguin on the moon.

No real point here, I just found the whole thing a bit odd). Something else we found a bit odd were the hours for an Indian restaurant on the corner by our hotel.
