Another Fatiguing Day

I must be extremely honest with you. My legs are definitely fatigued. My calves feel as if someone took a mallet and was beating them constantly for 4 hours straight! I believe that if I could tally the distance that we have covered, in only less than three days of being in Tokyo, I would have to say that we’ve walked approximately 15 miles! This would include the walking between areas that we wanted to visit, but also the underground walking at the train stations! I believe yesterday we walked for about 10 minutes underground just to get to our train that would take us near the Shiba area.

So, if you are ever in Tokyo and are planning to do some touring throughout the city, be prepared to do a ton of walking. I’d strongly suggest walking shoes, drinking plenty of water to avoid serious cramping, and get in shape before making the trip! I don’t think I’ve walked this much since 1999, my last year in college!
