Manchester Airport 24 March 2009

Joe enjoys a double mini Angus burger in Burger King at Manchester airport while Junko and I enjoy a very un-British (plastic) bottle of Budviser - the first time I have ever had a beer at a fast food joint in the UK. How very European!

Japan: 02:30
We landed at Narita at about 7pm Japan time (my hands are freezing at the moment and I am finding it hard to type. I am also struggling with the Japanese keyboard layout which I have forgotten how to use ). It was then a further 5 hours of trains and automobiles until we arrived at my Father-in-law’s place.
I have taken some photos, but I need to set up my laptop to get the pics up onto the blog. We have left all our luggage in the hands of the couriers at Narita airport and they won’t arrive for another day and a half. I will continue to take pics and will post them asap - hopefully no later than Friday.

The camera is coming with us…
