We’ve shifted our blog to WordPress.com. Far better support than the internet service provider that I previously had.
In any case, if you subscribed to the old blog you should still get e-mails. If you want to follow this blog you can do this by:
RSS and e-mail can be selected by selecting the jaggy stack on the right hand side of the screen and then scrolling down to those options.
Yes…. finally. Just gotta pack…
We really must remember this.. it’s so easy to forget how warm it is here. 
Taken from train….
Happy to be on the ground… uneventful but the breakfast was good.
Landing took awhile due to low cloud… nothing like extra time where you don’t want to be… but on the positive side the landing was smooth.
Short walk from hotel to glitch for our caffeine fix. Then short walk via Halloween ice cream macaron you Hitachino Nest for lunch! Yummy lager for a humid day.
First night in Tokyo and we met up with our Brompton friends in Kichijoji. It was great to catch up have some great food (it’s Tokyo it’s all good) and alcohol.
Plates are empty- they did contain goyza, rice and beer. Yes we were cramped into the booth at the end – most enjoyable!
… then we moved to a four story bar
Then a Scottish themed bar… where we talked about gin
… and now on the second to last train home. Here is to sleeping in!
Beer at Spring Valley Brewery
It is warm in Tokyo. No, its humid. Originally today it looked like it was going to be raining – something to do with a typhoon… but the rain soon passed and the sun came out. Given the weather report we decided to go to Yokohama. Eventually the train emptied out.
We had decided to catch the hop-on-hop off bus (yes so unlike us) to the Aka-Renga Soko (Red brick warehouse). As it hadn’t quite opened we walked around the port area, and came across the Japan Coast Guard Museum. Surprisingly it was air conditioned and inside it contained a North Korean spy ship, retrieved after sinking from an interaction off the coast of Japan. There was a good mix of Japanese and English translation, and they had retrieved a number of personal items which were on display. Pretty good for a free exhibition!
