Bob & Betty go British

Japan

 
So we made it to Japan. Flight was smooth - we had one of those large Airbus 330 and we got a seat over the wing so it was great. It felt much longer than 10 hours but that's probably because of all the pre-drama to getting on the plane. We had too much luggage, had to buy new a suitcase and carry on bag (meant we could have a laptop bag AND and carry on bag) and I was in pain (bad intestinal cramps). But we managed to get on the bus, get to the hotel and even negotiated buying tickets for the train into tokyo for a bit of sight-seeing. Tokyo doesn't strike me as the prettiest city in the world, but interesting none-the-less. They do strange things to their trees (cut off all the branches and let the leaves grow on the trunk) and it looks a lot like Hong Kong (especially in Akihabara). We have slept a lot and eaten very little. I'm looking forward to getting to London where I can spend the next week sleeping.

Just a quick thank you to all at IML for your fabulous send off last week. I feel much loved and will miss you all. Hope to chat/email/flickr/blog with you all!!!
