yeah i know...

but i've been sick but here are the last three days in japan.
sunday was going to be a simple day of swans and shopping so we head out to ueno park. the park is big and home to a zoo, a pond, a concert hall, two shrines and three museums.
first thing first find the pond!
once you find it you can't miss the fact that part of it is full of water lilies
