Drink Driving??? Of course not. This is the Aqualine, an 11km long tunnel through the bottom of the ocean from Tokyo to Chiba.
We took the underwater Aqualine to get to Kamogawa in Chiba. Above were the pics taken from the cockpit of the Mark X, notice the speed blur......the Speedometer maxed out at 180kmh, pulling at just over 4,000rpm in 5th, with one more gear to spare.. This is how it looks inside the tunnel from the passenger's seat. The Aqualine cuts about 40kms off the trip.
Today was a trip for Chloe to Kamogawa Seaworld. Before we reached the park, we had lunch at Coco's family restaurant. We ordered 黒 ビーフ カレー (Black Beef Curry), which came in black, of course. It was quite spicy but enjoyable. We lost 1hour waiting for a table and the food. Fortunately the Seaworld is only 2 minutes down the road.
Kamogawa Seaworld is a theme park for underwater life. There are Killer Whales, Beluga Whales, Dolphins and Sea Lion performances.

Some of the highlights in pics:
This is Orca doing a somersault...All these were taken with my Olympus SWD 50-200mm Lens.
Dolphins were very intelligent indeed. They are very agile and playful little mammals.
Chloe had a whale of a time...with her "Sea Friends" as she calls them..
Feeding time for the dolphins. They were anticipating with glee and kept jumping out of the water.

no, the Seaworld is at Kamogawa in Chiba, over an hour by car. Shinjuku is fine if you're going to use JR a lot.
