Up at 5.40am for a 3 minute shuttle ride to the airport for our 10th flight so far - a short 2 hour hop to Tokyo. Lots of research had resulted in a plan of how to get from the airport to our airbnb apartment. The Skyline Express, a JR train and a metro ride. At each change we asked for help with ticket purchases as the machines, although they have an English option are not intuitive. Then it was a short walk using the owner's instructions and GPS.
The apartment is great - plenty of room for when Jess, Kath and Ryan arrive tomorrow night. We bought lunch and ate it in a local park then made our way slowly round the supermarket trying to work out what was what and what we could buy to cook - not so easy. The staff were very friendly but didn't speak English so google translation came in handy again.
So we will sightsee in Tokyo tomorrow before going back to the airport for our big reunion....I am tearing up just thinking about it.
