Saturday 21st October
So first things first …. Jet lag is still hitting us but I’m hoping we are now getting into some kind of routine that gets us back on a normal body clock . . . .
Oh and it’s still raining …. Hard ….. so we had to find indoor things today ….
A little research later and we found a Mega Don Quijote …. Or Donki as they are better known. So think of B&M, times that by 100 and add a Daiso (100 yen shop), a Maccy D,s, a dedicated Liquor shop and a supermarket and you have a place where you could easily lose an entire day.
And that’s what we did …. I know it sounds a bit naff - but honestly… it’s great fun, especially in the Daiso…. All those things you never knew you needed but there they are and all cheap as owt…….
I took the opportunity to start my snack table …..
As is tradition in these kinds of shops, we spend an awful lot of money on total crap (apart from my snacks) …. Just like being in B&M 😬.
We were knackered as still slightly jet lagged, so came home…. We saw earlier that the castle and gardens are lit up on a Saturday night during October so we thought that would be a lovely way to end the day …. A nice romantic stroll round the castle with the pretty lights ……
Yeah OK
We got half way round and the heavens opened….. we persevered thinking it would tail off …. But it got worse …. It was now bouncing … and it’s bloody freezing! This was not the romantic interlude we had planned.
So we retreated, came home, had food, had a look if we get anything new or interesting on Netflix (nah not really) and checked the weather forecast with our fingers crossed …..
Apparently it’s getting better and shouldn’t rain again for another week…… at least. I hope not ‘cos tomorrow we are hitting Kanazawa outdoors. When we were coming home today, we saw a large number of tents on the Kanazawa Municipal Park, so I googled it when we got back and it’s only a bloody craft fair and it’s still on on Sunday 🥰 ….. I’m there! Tomorrow - planned.
And so ends Saturday ….. xxx
