  • Return to Tokyo

    17 settembre, Giappone ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Waking up a little worse for wear in Nagahama, cured by a morning trip to thr onsen and the view of Lake Biwa in the sun.

My reward was a thousand faces of Fuji as it emerged into the sunset, magnificent even without snow and even in the absurd context of a shopping centre..then on to Narita, on the outskirts of Tokyo and convenient for the airport, Rico driving like a pro through the 3D video game of Tokyo traffic - tunnels for 15 minutes under the city complete with roundabouts, undersea tunnels and elevated expressways and multiple layers of roads.and graphics and signs and the lights and towers..Leggi altro

  • Final days

    18 settembre, Giappone ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Quiet couple of days in Narita, near the airport and very far from the central areas of Tokyo. A practical day on Friday returning the car, final shopping and packing cases. Up early on Saturday to visit Tokyo Station and then have tour of the embassy and lunch with the lovely Corin..before the mammoth return journey. Trains to Narita, shuttle bus to the airport, 3 hours or so to Shanghai, forced to enter China with luggage and passport control, overnight in comfortable hotel in Shanghai, anither shuttle, 12 hours to Frankfurt where we parted ways..fabulous trip but looking forward to home now..Leggi altro
