Manila Baby Love: Osaka

Sometime in March, we were able to visit Osaka for the first time.

Gavin, my sisters and I arrived earlier. It was only us on the plane and only us at Universal.

Until now, I cannot remember how I survived. Haha! It was raining and it was so cold when we went to Universal. I left the rain stroller cover in Manila so I had to convert a raincoat to a quasi rain over to no avail. I guess the little boy was cold and uncomfortable as the stroller was wet. He was crying 80% of the time when we were in Hogwarts. He didn't want to ride the stroller and wanted to be carried. I thought I was going to pass out, seriously!

Gavin was so excited when we arrived at Sesame Street. Thank God it was indoors!!!

My companions, by then, were exhausted so they rested at the cafe while I was left to run around bulilit. He almost fell on a flight of stairs ... My gosh talaga! I shouted and thank goodness he suddenly stopped his fast running feet. Nevertheless, it was all worth it, happy si bulilit :)

The next day, we were lucky enough to catch the limited Thomas The Train express train to Kyoto.

We went to Fushimi Inari. If you have gone there, you know that there are a lot of flights of stairs to reach the top. We had a stroller and of course, we couldn't leave Gavin alone, Haha! So we had to carry the stroller until the top (-_-)

We went to Gion after. I think he was not able to sleep long so he had terrible tantrums thereafter. The grand parentals wanted to carry him because he didn't stop crying in spite of my stern warning. Hence, we had crying fits the whole of traversing through Gion. He bumped his head on a bamboo as well. Saying that it was a stressful day was an understatement. Perhaps when I am 50, I will look back to that day with fondness :D hahahaha! But seriously, I will never forget how we walked for about 2 kilometers with a wailing child. Some people would say how lucky we are to travel with bulilit in tow, but really, it takes a lot of stamina and patience to survive.
