DELAYED at Sydney and sat on tarmac till curfew then to Mercure Hotel for the night (well we got there at 1 for the night (we got there at 1.30 am) expected to catch same plan at 11.00am. Bus was to pick us up at 8.00am (but didnt turn up!) boarded at 11.30 only to find the delayed plane (QF21D) was delayed because of catering. Finally took off at 1.00pm and got out of customs (completely dazed) at Narita at 9.30pm. Luckily we d decided that it would be too late to risk getting across Tokyo to our destination Tokao by train so we asked to be put up for the night in Narita. We stayed at the Holiday Inn and watched more about the pope on CNN, had a great breakfast of miso soup with all kinds of goodies added.
This nourishing food gave us the courage to catch trains to Takao and then find our hotel! So we to Takao and then find our hotel!
So thats where we are and although I cant find the apostrophe on the Japanese keyboard so far I can do the usual things like email and this blog....every now and then I press a wrong key and it all ends up in Japanese characters, but I now know how to get back!! up in Japanese characters, but I now know how to get back!!!The train journey was great just over 2 hours to get 100 ks across from Narita to Takao. Its spring here and the temperatures are roughly the same as Katoomba and the cherry blossoms are coming to an end.
And narita to takao was easy only one change of train and easy to follow signs (though we did end up sitting in a section reserved for the elderly and the pregnant!!)
