Vamos a salir de Japón pronto y llegaremos a Hawaii en unos 10 días.

馬上又要開始新的航程，雖然還有些難過，後悔跟不捨得，我要變得堅強，所以就算不合我的個性，該放下的還是要放下。

Yokohama Skyline
October 15, 2023 in Japan ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
By the time we returned to the ship, we were both soaked from the rain and sweaty, so it was time for showers.

The late afternoon skies in Yokohama treated us to swirling pastel arabesques followed by a beautiful sail away.Read more

Day 110
Yokohama
March 31 in Japan ⋅ 🌬 24 °C
Ahora que el barco ha regresado a Yokohama, significa que no sólo 116, sino todo mi año de viaje en Peaceboat ha llegado a su fin. Han pasado tantas cosas en sólo un año. He perdido una amistad importante que nunca recuperaré. Pero también he ganado muchas cosas en este año que nunca pensé que conseguiría antes.

Tuve una tripulación estupenda en el viaje, todos pensaban que yo era una persona cariñosa y aprendí mucho de ellos. Durante el viaje estuve tan ocupada que no tuve tiempo de pensar en las cosas tristes. Sin embargo, hacia el final del viaje, recordé las 114 cosas. Aunque me dolieron mucho aquellas palabras y comportamientos malvados, ahora me he hecho más fuerte.

Esta vez llegué a Yokohama con dos días de retraso, pero tengo dos días más para pasar con Remy y Tanika, y pronto volveré a Taiwán.Read more

Day 20
Safe and sound in Tokio
August 15, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
Nach einem vier Kilometer langen Spaziergang führte uns der Weg heute zu einer Filiale von Eggs n‘ things. Nati hatte sich ja in Hiroshima in das tolle Frühstück verliebt, weshalb wir in Tokio einen Laden aufgesucht haben.
Danach fuhren wir ein weiteres Mal nach Yokohama, weil wir es dort schön fanden und Nati sich noch eine Kette kaufen wollte, welche sie schon vor zwei Wochen entdeckt, aber damals nicht gekauft hatte - und diese haben wir dann auch wieder gefunden. Diese Ketten sind aus einem besonderen Glas hergestellt, handgefertigt und somit ein Unikat. Unfassbar ist zudem auch, dass sich Nati ausgerechnet eine Kette der „Mix Collection“ rausgesucht hatte. Das fand sogar die japanische Verkäuferin unglaublich 😊
Nach einem Käffchen ging es für uns wieder zurück nach Tokio, wo wir zunächst drei Runden gebowlt und uns anschließend nochmals Running Sushi gegönnt haben. Aber was heißt hier gegönnt: Schlappe 17,80 Euro haben wir zu zweit zusammen bezahlt. Wahnsinn. Sowas wird uns in Deutschland nicht mehr so schnell passieren.
Zum wahrscheinlich letzten Mal sind wir durch Shibuya flaniert, dem für uns coolsten Stadtteil von Tokio.

Morgen brechen wir nach dem Frühstück/Mittagessen auf ins Hilton Flughafen Hotel, da es für uns bereits am Donnerstagmorgen wieder zurück geht 😢Read more

Transfer to the ship, Yokohama is an attractive looking port. Our arrival / boarding procedure was very swift. Celebrity Millennium is 20 years old, had a major facelift 5 years ago, overall pretty good. Looks even better after 2 glasses of champagne…Read more

In Yokohama hani eigentlich ned so viel gmacht. Es esch ehn Stadt am Meer bizli südlich vo Tokyo und ich ha s Gfühl es läbed sehr viel richi Lüüt do. So bin ich eifach chli dord Stadt gloffe und ha gluegt was es eso ume hed. Ich ha es paar schöni Pärk entdeckt und bi dord Chiatown gloffe. Vorallem schön esch au dUssicht ufd Stadt vom Meer us und s Meer hed währed ehm Sunneuntergang ehn ganz spezielle hellblau Ton becho das esch voll schön gsii aber leider ned uf es Bild z bringe.

Söscht hani au mol no chli usgschlofe und planed und so.Read more

Day 11
Our adventure to the pier
October 9, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
After waiting for the rain to clear we finally decided on the taxi option to get to Tokyo station. The directions were a little confusing so after arriving at platform 9 as advised we were lucky to get someone who helped explain it was actually platform 9 we needed for our non reserved class tickets. After lining up on platform 10 we thought again best to ask a local and it was fortunate as we were waiting in premium queuing. Eventually we had the right place and were off to yokohama.

After arriving at yokohama we then found others who were a little list and also going to the boat. Next was the challenge of getting the minatorimai line to our final stop and getting the tickets and onto the train was without a hitch but we had gotten on a limited express train so arrived at the other end having missed our intended destination. We figured it out and went back the required 1 stop to our final destination. A short walk later we were at Osanbashi pier and are now beginning check in for the cruiseRead more

Day 6
Tokyo to Yokohama
October 13, 2017 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We caught the 10:30am train to Yokohama. The trip took around 30 minutes. We then changed to the subway for the last part of the journey to Nihon-Odori. It was about a 650m walk to Osanbashi Pier and we had a short wait to board the ship. We had lunch in the Lido and then we went to a Mariner Society welcome drinks. We sat with a couple from Canada who had done lots of cruises. They were both retired school teachers and had an Australian daughter-in-law. Not long after we sat down, Cathryn saw two familiar faces enter the Crows Nest for the Mariner drinks. It was Sarah and Ann, we couldn't believe it and neither could they! We met them on our first Holland America cruise from Singapore to Hong Kong in 2015. Certainly is a small world. After catching up, we finished unpacking and then got ready for the lifeboat drill at 7:30pm, followed by dinner at 8pm. We enjoyed dinner in the Main dining room followed by the show at 9:30pm. On the way back to the cabin we sat and listened to the Ocean Trio (formerly the Neptunes). The female pianist and singer were excellent.Read more

Day 3
The Diamond Princess
April 11, 2019 in Japan ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Our metro tickets got us a good way out of Tokyo but not to the cruise port. So we had to get off at Meguro metro and buy a train ticket to Nihon-Odori. Annoyingly we would actually be getting back on the same train on which we'd arrived; it apparently became a 'train' rather than a 'metro' at Meguro. However finding how and where to buy tickets from became a bit of a mission. Whilst the ticket machines have English options, tickets are sold by distance travelled rather than by station travelling to...argh! Google was great at giving us the route and getting us this far but this was another matter entirely. After trying to converse across a language barrier, we eventually found a map on which the cost of each station was noted and we took a chance on the ticket we needed.

At Nihon-Odori, having managed to get out of the station with our tickets, we walked to the port and boarded the Diamond Princess, along with 2,800 other passengers. Throwing the luggage in the stateroom, and watching the dodgiest safety video ever (where the safety instructions were sung to the Love Boat theme time) we headed upstairs for sailaway. Impressively, we sailed under a bridge with just two metres clearance, whilst the cruise director and staff danced joyously to Gangnam Style underneath.

The evening was Ben's time to shine - music trivia. 20 tiny snippets of song introductions, from which the goal was to name the song and the artist. We/he scored an impressive 26/40 but sadly not enough to win the champagne. So we headed off to dinner where we avoided talking to the tables next to us, enjoyed a lovely meal and then headed back to the room to read.Read more
Traveler I hope you’re not using the lift 😘
