“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Yokohama, Japan

In Yokohama, I went to the Sankeien Garden. This garden was created by a successful Yokohama businessman who built his fortune through his silk business. The place is very spacious and serine. We walked through the inner and outer gardens stopping along the way at different tea houses and the farm house. We even saw a Japanese couple getting their wedding photos taken!! 










We also went to the Harbor Front area were we could see many spring flowers blooming and see our ship from a distance. 



The Landmark Tower is the tallest building in Japan. We were able to see the panoramic view of the city from the 69th floor observatory known as the "Sky Garden". 



And now, good-bye to Japan. We are officially on our way home, crossing the Pacific Ocean!
