Woke up to rain. Walked to Nishiki food market via Starbucks, a shoe store and Daiso. Nicholas' shoes and socks didn't survive the showers and wet paths. It was quite a long walk. Stopped at Starbucks for morning tea, then found some cool new shoes. Daiso was fun and we bought some souvenirs, craft and art supplies. Had pretty tasty Japanese fast food at First Kitchen: creamy pasta, chicken nuggets and fries. Then we walked through a crowded and interesting Nishiki markets. Looked like the thing to eat was octopus with egg on a skewer. Kids were fascinated but not game to try. Next stop was an afternoon treat from 7-Eleven before quickly walking through Daimaru food hall. Couldn't resist the bakery.
After a break back at the house we set out to find Okazaki Park in the hopes of finding a playground. No luck. Kids were grumpy. Quickly explored the Heian shrine and found dinner at a Chinese restaurant on the way back to the house. Had the restaurant to ourselves. Food was not bad.
Nicholas felt a bit homesick before bed. Felt sad and wanted to go home. Phil caught a cold too.
