Our Winter Holiday in Tokyo, February 2006


When we told Amanda we would be bringing her to Tokyo Disneyland, she was sooo excited and shouted "YEAH!!! i can see mickey & minnie mouse!!!"
And.... off we went for our winter holiday in Japan... The flight to Tokyo was more manageable as compared to New Zealand. It was Amanda's first trip to Japan, though both us of have been there a couple of times. We visited Mount Fuji, Asakusa Temple, Lake Kawaguchi, took a Pirate Cruise, enjoyed ourselves in the Hot Spring and experienced Fireworks too.


Amanda had lots of ice cream in Japan and she particularly loved the ice cream she ate at Mount Fuji. It was so cold up there around 3 degrees and Amanda's ice cream didn't even melt after an hour.... this is the only time Amanda can take her time to savour her ice cream....


















































Disneyland left the deepest impression on our babe... guess most adults & kids love Disneyland :) I love Disneyland too, and have been to most of the Disneylands around i.e. States, Tokyo, EuroDisney....















Amanda was so excited when she saw Mickey & Minnie. She tried many of the rides including Its a Small World (my all time favourite cos it brings back the childhood in me), Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, Picnochio, Winnie the Pooh, Tom Sawyer, Pirates of the Carribean (another of my favourite), Jumbo the Flying Elephant, Alice's Tea Cup, Carousel and a few other rides....



















Amanda's new friend I-cha, a Japanese girl who came here with her Grandparents. They exchanged goodies; Amanda gave her Pooh popcorns, whilst I-cha gave her Pooh lollipops.








Amanda was totally exhausted by the time it was 11pm. We didn't realise that until she lied down and dozed off on the bench whilst waiting for the coach..... haha....





It was really a memorable trip for Amanda as she got to play at Disneyland and at the same time her first snow experience....
