Kaoru woke up early to see Julia, Andrew and Ella off – they were booked on a 650 bus. She then did a load of washing. I got up, had a shower and we went to breakfast at Excelsior.

On the way back I paid the bill while there was no line. Then we had to do that job we always hate – packing. It took us a while and at the end I reckon my bag would be about 30kg. Luckily this wasn’t our pack to go home. We put our bags with the bell Captain and went to the lounge to wait for our 1230 bus to Disneyland.  We got a few snacks for the trip, and boarded.  After having already gone to Disneyland, and been thoroughly annoyed at it, hearing the song playing for the entire bus trip was extremely annoying.  But after an hour or so we got there, and then caught a taxi to Kaoru’s parents house.  All up ~2000 yen, whereas a taxi from the hotel would have been > 6000 yen, and given the weight of our bags, we didn’t want to walk with them!

After a cup of tea and a catch up, we went for a walk to the bank, and to sort a few things out.  The 4 of us went to the usual sushi train place for dinner, and as always, it was hard to stop because it was soooo good!  Back at Kaoru’s parents, we packed our bags for Kyoto (as we only wanted to bring small bags and not our suitcases) and went to bed.
