Can't believe that you're finishing your second country already! The latest picture on the pagoda at night is the best so far. We are looking forward to hearing of your tour of China, and seeing the pictures of course. I'm amazed at how much the internet technology has moved on since we did our trip. xxx

Youre leaving just days before the Japanese Grand Prix - How could you miss it?? Such bad planning I reckon!! Glad to hear youre having a fantsatic time - not jealous at all - Honest!!

Hello Tokyo! Wow looks like you're already having loads of fun, love loads of your photos you've put up and the one of you two in your kimonos and giant slippers is totally brilliant!

Its been raining ALL weekend here, but good for dad's veggies and an opportunity for Tandy to wear his Ray Mears survival kagool of course.

Looking forward to hearing and seeing pics of the next installment of your trip.

Happy Sushi and Wan Ton Soup

Lots of love

Alex and Debbie,

Only just found out about this site. It looks like you are having a great time. The fort and tunnels appeals to me. You must post a detailed blog about Japan, cos I don't want to waste money if it is rubbish or something similar. Look after youselves.

Kim and Laurie

Hello

Thanks for your emails and blog. Haven't looked at the pictures yet. Sounds like a good time is being had which is great news. Hopefully you'll soon be well and truly over the jet lag, I think it can take a day or two. The sea fort in Helsinki sounds like 'Alex heaven'. Still rather wet and windy here, but we had a very nice lunch with Tony and Ursula. Will have another go at the Heartdrive now and see if I can find your pictures. Ning has just landed on my keyboard! He sends a meow!Lots of love xxx

Great to hear you have arrived in Tokyo. Looking forward to seeing pics of Kyoko and her family.
