• Day 3

    February 18, 2024 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Luckily I’d done a bit of repacking last night, because after my wakeful night, I then overslept. After a smartish brekkie and ‘jamming things in our bags’ sesh, we had a few hours to wonder around.

    Now at the airport, having successfully negotiated the maze of Shibuya station to find the airport train platform. We are sharing our flight with a school group. I hope very much they’ll be chilled on the flight…..

    Is it smart, I wonder, getting the general public to bag drop their own luggage, on slow working screens, whilst Qantas staff patrol to watch we’re doing things right?
    End of moan.
