Leaving in blue skies … again

The morning happened a little bit quicker this morning than anticipated after we read what the checkout time of our hotel was. We originally planned so that we can nicely stroll out of

Cafés

My last full day in Japan for this trip, and I have spent it very wisely. By spending most of it blankely staring out at the sea side. I'm sure people will be

Welcome back Tokyo

So, as predicted, sleep … kind of didn't happen. I mean, there were points where I had my eyes closed, and there were even points where I fell asleep. But considering that the unit

Too long

It's been too long since Washinoko has been allowed to see international action, but he's bright eyed and bushy tailed, eagerly awaiting the boarding call. As opposed to me who realises that I'm
