20 November, 2006
We had a quick breakfast and then Mr Kim dropped us off at the airport. All went well until we arrived in Tokyo. We had not pre-booked a hotel and when we got to the airport we started searching for one that wasn’t astronomically priced. This was a challenge and we wasted a lot of time. We finally found a hostel in our Lonely Planet book (our bible) and we phoned for directions. It took forever but we finally reached our budget hotel and were pleasantly surprised. It was spotlessly clean and there were shared bathrooms but it was really comfortable. We went for a lovely dinner – sushi – of course and it was delicious. Rich is still sick and we are both really tired! If anyone thinks we are on vacation they are mad!!
