CT and Stitch on their way to Yokosuka! 7-29

CT and Stitch would like me to apologize for not updating this, oh, say.. a month ago when we got hom from Yokosuka??? So I'm sorry for the delay all!!!! In order to lighten the load of the Yokosuka trip, I'll be posting our adventures seperately. Day one? TRAVELING BY TRAIN IN JAPAN!!! First we had to travel from SASEBO to Hakata (Fukuoka.) That was done by this train. We were going backwards at first! It was crazy weird!
Once we got to Hakata, it was time to wait for and get on the SHINKANSEN! (Bullet train.) (Note: this picture was actually taken 8-3 at the Tokyo station upon departure from our trip!)

Looking out the window! We passed through several major cities such as Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Osaka!
The seats were big and comfy!!!

The Shinkansen ride was amazing, but the local line from Shinagawa to Yokosuka-Chou was such a headache! The directions given to CT, Stitch and I said 5 stops and 40 minutes. It did not clarify that there was an express, local express, local, commuter blah blah blah trains. So We got off at the wrong station. Luckily between myself and the taxi driver we made it to our hotel! And what a great view we had!!! The first day wasn't a huge adventure but it was great being able to ride on a bullet train!!
