On Sunday morning we had a long lie in but were still out on the Tokyo road by 9am! We travelled by underground and the JR line to Mitaka on the west of Tokyo to visit the famous Ghibli Museum. The Ghibli is a Japanese animation centre dedicated to the art of cartoon and film making. 

We visited many parts of the museum including the roof top garden with the gigantic robot. We watched one of the Ghibli's animation films in the theatre and had a great time climbing around the huge Cat Bus. Unfortunately photography was banned inside the museum but watch this space because Mrs Fellowes-Prynne bought a DVD of some of Ghibli's finest works including the Cat bus-to be shown in school next half term!!

After the Ghibli Museum we walked to Kichijoji-the park there is very beautiful with an old shrine and a lake full of huge carp fish.

We had lunch in a small Japanese restaurant-we had to buy a ticket for our meal from a vending machine before we went in! Most of us had curry and rice or soba noodles.
