Hong Kong to Tokyo

The check-in at Hong Kong through customs was relatively smooth and we walked what felt like the equivalent of a mile to the business class lounge. This lounge by contrast to the one in Toronto was enormous, measuring in my estimate, at least 300 yards long with many different food and beverage stations and very comfortable lounging chairs with charging stations. Our layover of just over four hours went smoothly, and we then proceeded to board the plane for Tokyo, which was delayed on the ground about an hour due to technical issues.
We were served another breakfast with some confusion as we had switched seats. Lee ordered vegetarian so Don was going to be served Lee's breakfast but finally sorted out and he received parts of both breakfasts. We landed at Narita Airport Tokyo around 3:40 PM, collected our luggage and we were met by a Regent Cruise line representative as we departed customs. There were about 14 of us who were led to the bus area. The bus arrived with about 18 passengers already on, that had landed at another terminal. We were all taken to the Tokyo Hilton Hotel although it took another good hour in stop and go traffic to get there. We received our room keys and settled in for our three night stay. We decided to have dinner in the hotel as we were travel tired. We checked out a couple of the many choices of restaurants and Don picked a buffet that proved more expensive that he thought, due to an error in assuming the displayed operating hours was the price range. The food was good, and we each were able to have a choice of both Asian and European food. We were not long out of bed for a good night sleep.Baca selengkapnya
