An early alarm (530) to start an exciting trip. My first trip to Japan where i won’t see Kaoru.<\/p>\n
I drove to the airport and had a fantastic run in. Checked in, bought a pair of sunglasses and passed the time before boarding. We were late out of melbourne but eventually took off. I watched a few movies on the flight and finally made it to Narita.<\/p>\n
I organized a portable wifi and recharged my Japanese mobile. And then caught the bus to the hotel. I had wanted to buy a Nex\/Suica card but they don’t do them as a package anymore. And the bus dropped me at the hotel rather than having to walk from the station so a bit more convenient.<\/p>\n
I had some food while waiting for the bus and a beer on the trip. I spoke to Kaoru on Skype for a while. It was quite humid. But eventually we arrived and I checked in.<\/p>\n
After a long day i needed to go out for a drink. I decide to cross the train tracks at Shinagawa and see what i could find. I ended up at an izakaya and ordered a beer (Suntory premium, of course! ) and some sashima. I also had a “cover” (some vegetables to eat while drinking) and then they bought me some free food (wedges and sauce). So can’t complain.<\/p>\n
So i was happy, well fed and had enjoyed some great beer when i decided to go to the hotel and call it a day. However i decided to take a scenic route back to the hotel, via Shinagawa prince. And i couldn’t help but stop in at the 7-11 (which was as busy as ever) to buy a beer for the room to finish the night off.<\/p>\n
How do I make this appear in the right order?<\/p>\n
