New Years day turned out to be a "do nothing" day. By the time we all woke up and got showered etc, it was time to start discussing what should we do for dinner. We decided we would go to a nearby diner for food and see what happens. Along with our dinner, we all got the nomihodai - all you can drink. This diner didn't have beers so in this case it was just coffees, juices & soft drinks. We probably wouldn't have touched a beer anyway. We went there at about 5pm and ate dinner. Eric was a bit ambitious in his order. Along with his burger and chips (which was a big serving) he ordered another plate of chips (also a large serving).They left the final decision up to me whether we would go into Tokyo or just keep it local. I could see that everyone was so tired, myself included and also I figured that if we went into Tokyo, we would be wrecked again tomorrow for my final full day in Japan so we didn't end up leaving the diner until about midnight.
It was fun though just hanging out drinking coffee after coffee and hot chocolate after hot chocolate and soft drink after soft drink and hot chocolate again after hot chocolate etc etc. Another reason I was happy to stay in the diner so long.... it had a Japanese toilet !! Also included in our detox day was popping into a supermarket and buying cranberry juice. As always, it hit the spot. We discussed going to the fish market early in the morning but when we looked it up, it was closed for the Christmas holidays. After the diner, we just went back to Kozue's and hung out there.
