Day 2: Nagoya - 5 Dec 2017

6 degrees today...  Brr...

We didn't have any concrete itinerary this time round so we moved around based on what we could research during our breakfast time.. So this was rather impromptu :)

Bakery near Nagoya station 
After breakfast,  we took a subway train out to Nagoya castle. It was located very near to the station so finding it wasn't too difficult. We had subscribed to Changi Wi-Fi service and it's assuring to have this on hand (in case we need to navigate). 



Some sightseeing inside the castle.. The boys had a lot of fun trying to pull the weight of some rocks which gave them a taste of the efforts required from the ancestors..







Taking a break at the foot of the castle..





Lunch at a small eatery near Nagoya castle,  surprisingly their fried chicken was really nice (crispy on the outside,  tender and juicy on the inside)



At Oasis 21, there was a ice skating event which we pay 500 yen per child for unlimited play!  (no additional charges for renting of skating shoes).
In such a cold weather,  the boys had alot of fun skating in the outdoor rink while we adults were frozen out in the open watching them!


At first,  they were not so steady.. 


 After 40 mins,  they were skating quite well - almost like a pro..



Sushi outlets are generally very popular wherever we go. We had to wait in the line for quite some time at this Oasis 21 store before we could get seats to have our dinner.  Their Salmon and Ebi were really nice and we ordered multiple times for the same plates! 



And whatever we go, this boy just want his kappa maki and tamago maki...


The boys pants and gloves were so messy with the fake snow from the ice-skating rink that we have to send our clothes to the laundry that night.
