one-day bus tour to Tokyo German Village

Before writing about my one-day bus tour,
I have to write about today’s big news.

The announcement of the sudden death of
Kim Jong Il surprised us all.

I heard the news around 1:00p.m.

I wonder what will happen next in North Korea.

I hope something good will happen
under the successor.

On Saturday, the day before yesterday,
I joined a one-day bus tour・・・ alone.

I soon made friends with a few ladies.
We enjoyed talking, eating and walking.
It was just “a once-in-a-lifetime chance.”
I did not ask their names.

The destination was Country Farm Tokyo German Village.
It is a theme park in Sodegaura in Chiba Pref.

On the way we stopped at Umihotaru.

Do you see Mt.Fuji?



Then we had lunch at a 浜焼きrestaurant in Tomiura.



After lunch we enjoyed daffodils in Kyonan.
They were so lovely.









Tokyo German Village was crowded with holiday
visitors.

I heard its winter illumination was designated
as 2011夜景遺産.

It was the first time I visited　東京ドイツ村 in Chiba.





I’m sorry I am not good at taking pictures of night views.

I had a very good day.

I walked 12614 steps in a day.
