We had to put back our trip to Otaru by a day in Hokkaido as I wasn't well on top of still having no hearing in my left ear. It then chucked it down the whole day. I have had to bin my shoes but kept s little dry thanks to the communal umbrellas that they seem to have everywhere.
Before we reached the tourist area we popped into the greatest sewing shop in the world. I got giddy plus there was an anime shop on the same street for Andy. He treated me to some fabric and I rewarded him by letting us have lunch at the stinkiest fish shop ever while I had a single boiled potato.
Otaru is a port town and is known for glassware and music boxes. The 'museums' were really large shops near the canal but interesting none the less, and very beautiful. At least they were out of the rain!
We polished off the visit with a cheese ice cream at the chocolate shop and made our way back to Sapporo to the pancake shop in Asabu for tea. Happy faces and full tummies!
