      Back in Tokyo

      March 30, 2017 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      I had to catch the boat back to Tokyo at noon. Mes, my host, brought me to the pier and she told me, that she came to the island more than 30 years ago because of her husband, who was born here. He died three years ago. They have three kids, two sons and a daughter. No grandkids yet, she told me her sons enjoy the easy way of life. She was born on Kyushu Island, lived for 4 years in Tokyo. Her mum was US-American but didn't speak English with her but they celebrated Christmas and Easter. Besides running the B&B, she works at the tourist information center.
      The boat trip was beautiful, I was mostly sitting in the sun, reading a book, eating icecream, chatting with people and enjoying life. We arrived in Tokyo after a stunning sunset and a friendly, elderly Japanese explained the different biuldings of the skyline to me. He told me that he had been in Grindelwald two years ago. Then he took his IPad, started googlemaps and wanted to know where I come from. Und schwupps, so schnäu isch me ume ds Murte 😊
