The last big outing we did with Marcus&Gaby was the Nokogiri hike. This was probably our favorite trip last time we were here. It involves a short train ride, a ferry ride, a tram ride, and a hike to the giant Buddha sculpture. We got up early enough to catch the ferry just after 9am.

 |
| We saw a bunch of fishing boats out in Tokyo Bay |
 |
| The ferry ride is about 45 minutes long |
 |
| Next we have to walk to the tram. Wow, I look really grouchy in this photo, I think because Tristan was already complaining about his legs hurting 100 ft out of the ferry terminal. |

| We made it to the giant buddha picnic area |
 |
| Chad has to take a picture of me messing with my new toy |
 |
| And here's the selfie! |

| Just to give a perspective of how impressive the sculpture is when you stand back a bit. |
 |
| There's lot of stairs on this hike but they are well maintained since you have to pay to get into this area (kinda like a national park) |
 |
| Back at the ferry terminal I went inside the BaumKuchen museum and got a picture of them making these yummy "tree" cakes. (I also bought one that we ate for dessert later) |

| Tristan feel asleep on the ferry on the way home :) |

That observation point is scary! So do the ferry's there look like the wa ones? Is there cars on them?
