Tokyo - day 16

This morning we slept in and decided to take it easy. After breakfast, we took the metro to Ueno and walked to the Ueno Zoo. One of the reasons we wanted to go to that zoo was because of the giant panda... but once we got into the zoo, we found out the only giant panda they had, died in april of this year! Anyway, we only paid 3,50 euros to get in and the zoo was huge, so it was still definitely worth the money! We spent the whole day there and saw lots of animals... We took the metro back to the hostel, took a shower, got changed and headed out to the Okura hotel where we were to meet some of Pierre's father's friends. They kindly took us out for dinner to a place on the 37th floor of a tall building in the Roppongi area with an amazing view on the Tokyo Tower and the rest of the Tokyo skyline by night. Dinner was delicious! Thank you very much!

Weather: sunny with some clouds
