Day Five Leaving Tokyo - Heading for Seoul Bags packed & ready to go we grabbed our last breakfast (a pot noodle) in Tokyo. Grabbing the train we headed to Nartia airport. A nice airport, in fact very expensive & not cheap at all! We nosed around the airport shops & we grabbed a bite to eat. We grabbed some goodies from a shop & off we went to board the plane. Boarding to Seoul was exciting, a new airline & very different to our crappy bri...

Day Four Mount Fuji - Kawaguchiko - Shinjuku Another early rise & shine. Breakfast consisted of Kelloggs Frosties (yeah we found a supermarket that sells the most expensive cereal in the world) & milk that tastes like liquidised cheese. Also in the supermarket we found some extra thick weird looking bread, some packet ham & nasty cheese slices. So whilst eating our English breakfast Andy made our sandwiches for the day. We gathered our things togeth...

The train journey began - From Asakuska on the Ginza train line to Ueno. Ueno to Tokyo on the Yamanote line. Tokyo to Ofuna ...

Getting anything other than noodles or rice for breakfast was going to prove to be a challenge. We entered a mini supermarket called Family Mart to see if we could source some breakfast, after about 10 mins of trying to understand packets we grabbed some extremely small sandwiches (that had no crusts) a carton of milk & headed ...

Day One Manchester - Heathrow - Tokyo Sitting around watching all the characters getting ready to board for Tokyo. We have been wondering what brings each person on the same flight as us - are they on business, going to see relatives or looking to start the journey of a life time like ourselves! After the 12 hour flight which was decent so top marks for good old British Airways we arrived at Narita Airport. Feeling extremely sick, shattered & with flu li...
