Melbourne to Tokyo via Manila

Here we go. Japan for a few weeks. Very excited.

Our Ubermate Neil picked us up 4:15am dressed in driver attire.

Found our buddies near Gate 6 and had breakie.

The flight to Manila is about 8.5 hours with a short stopover before we fly north to Tokyo.

We landed in Manila and saw slums from our windows. Not a good first impression. It is hot here and just after midday. At least we can now say we added another country to our bucket list.

As we exited the plane Sharon was asked by the airport staff if she required assistance in the form of a wheelchair. We laughed, but she was unimpressed.

On to Tokyo Narita airport. Hopefully our transport booking will work and we will successfully navigate our way to the hotel by late evening.Read more
