We're on the bus to our HoHo destination after a rather pleasant 11hr flight - everyone made it and so did all our bags! Our tour guide Kyoko is showing us the sights and we've just passed Tokyo Disney! Beck's rather gutted to be so close to Mickley Mouse and yet so far away :'( The pictures show a very misty view of the Tokyo Sky Tree that we'll be ascending at the end of our stay in Tokyo!

We're averaging 35 degrees currently and some of us have even ventured to try Pocari Sweat!! Not our favourite drink so far!

Amy has had a very interesting encounter with a Japanese toilet: whilst waiting for the toilet spray she had selected, it seemed to be taking too long so she looked down to check it was working and promptly got sprayed in the face!

Our bus has also proven to be the most welcome rest from the heat with a fabulous air conditioning system... It also has fold out seats to sit in the aisle!Read more
