We woke up this morning and had another breakfast that I didn’t stand a hope in hell of finishing.  Yet Kaoru’s Mum just kept bringing more and more out.  I wanted to eat it all, as it’s all so nice!

We went for a walk to the bank and to post some letters, and then stopped for a hot chocolate, and to reflect on the last couple of weeks.  What an adventure it has been!  We’ve had some really busy days, and done a lot, with lots of friends and family.  But now the holiday must come to an end, and I have to start earning money again to pay for it all!

Back at the house we re-packed our bags, to fit sponge bags in.  Both suitcases were about 26 kg, so we took some things out to put in our carry on bags (which luckily were pretty empty).  Fingers crossed we will be OK, as they are both just under 23, but on Cathay the limit is 20.  We had lunch and a chat, and passed the time before Kaoru’s Dad took us to the bus stop.
