The flight ...

After a great stay at the Grace Hotel, we took the train from Wynyard to Sydney International Airport. It's the first time we've taken the train, and it was super easy and only $2 each.

Check-in for NH890 with ANA was easy, but the lineup for security was the worst we've ever seen. The line did move pretty quickly, and we got through and went to the Air NZ lounge for breakfast.

We boarded our flight on time, and we were on our way. The food, drinks and service were fantastic, and we arrived on time at 8.35pm Tokyo time. Getting through border control was quick, especially with only carry-on bags!

We had arranged a pick-up through Booking.com, and our driver was there waiting for us. It was less than 30 minutes' drive to check in to the Bon Tokyo Asakusa. It's really hot here, still 28c at 9.30pm. We went for a short walk to grab some things from a nearby convenience store before getting some sleep.Read more
