On our way.

Heading off early today with the first flight out at 6.35. Everything went to plan had all the instruments checked through to Tokyo, so we had an easy ride across to the international airport. Good run through customs and immigration with plenty of time for breakfast and coffee.

Waiting at the gate we got a text the flight would be delayed for an hour. Luckily the seats were comfy so we both had a little nap to make up for the 4 o’clock wake up.

The wait was worth it, the plane is only half full, if that. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It was probably the most comfortable flight we’ve had in years. Saying that nine hours is still a long time, locked in an aluminium can so we were still happy to be getting off.

Takes an hour to get into the city in the train and it was a bit of a circus with a guitar, three suitcases and a couple of backpacks. We’d forgotten how many stairs there are in the train stations and you can never find the lift when you want one.

We finally made it to our accomodation and deciphered the instructions to get in. It’s very compact, but has everything we need and is just around the corner from the hall where the Handmade Guitar Show will be.

Offloaded all our gear and headed out to find some dinner, Beer and Ramen, can’t go wrong with that.Okumaya devam et
