Kaoru woke me up this morning very worried.  She said it was 9.30 already, and we had to get up now to get breakfast.  I felt quite bad and found out the suffering of Mio’s bar.  I struggled to get out of bed, and then saw that it was only 7.30 in the morning!  Kaoru had read the clock from my laptop, which I left on Melbourne time to help with timings of meetings.  So it was straight back to bed for me.

I woke up a couple of hours later, still feeling very under the weather, but went downstairs to try to eat some breakfast.  Not a lot went in.  We went back to the room and Kaoru had to go to her parents house, and I had a bit of a look at getting this release of Pracware out, but my mind wasn’t focusing, so I went back to bed.

At lunch time, we found a place that did toasted sandwiches and salads – simple food.  So went there, as I was starting to feel a bit better, and needed some food.  Unfortunately the “no smoking indoors” concept hasn’t made it to Japan, and feeling crook already, where almost every table had a smoker on it, was not how I wanted to eat my food.  By the time I walked out I was feeling worse than when I got in, and I’m thankful I can’t remember what it was like when people could smoke indoors at restaurants in Australia – much less what it was like when you could smoke on an aeroplane!

Back at the room I got the Pracware release sorted out and was back in bed.  Jet lag and long days had really caught up with me and I was out to it for a few more hours.  Once I woke up, I was feeling human again, and ready to take on the world.  Kaoru got back not long after (she had spent the afternoon getting her hair done), and we found an Izakaya to go to for dinner.  I ate quite a bit and drank several glasses of (non alcoholic) drink, and felt back to 100%.

We had an early night, as the alarm was set for an early morning tomorrow, and a big weekend.
