I still can’t quite believe I’m typing this from our hostel in Tokyo! Although with the level of tiredness and jet-lag we felt when we touched down we may well have been hallucinating the whole thing.
We’ve been here for a couple of days now and already we’ve been exploring nonstop! But more on that later…
Our flights actually went quite well and to any of you who are aware of my previous history with baggage and long haul flights, you will be very pleased to hear that they showed up when we did!! Although I’m still glad I had packed a carry on bag with a supply of clothes and toiletries etc because it’s just not worth tempting fate. I would just like to add here that after our worry about over-packing and trying to travel light, neither of our bags weighed more than 12kg and while that may show just how little I’ve been lifting, I was so shocked and surprised at the check-in I did a little dance – the check-in lady wasn’t too impressed…
