Hungover +++, made it to narita for 8.30 by train. Got hangover food then hit plane. Got to Beijing via Shang by 6pm?? At hostel by 8- dead to world. Staying at peaking park hostel which is cute. Internet all censored! Went for Chinese family style meal- so much food and it only cost 10£!

Woke up late,got ready and clothes washed. Headed to Tokyo some city for bubba gump drinks and tgi drinks. Merch acquired, t-swift watched, girl crush developed! Such a good show, lots of photos with Japanese kids occurred, we then returned to tapas bar in Shibuya- no tables so had to eat outside where some breakdancing stripped a forced their company on us.we were then dragged to karaoke against our will, but enjoyed it very much until Nathen Mcvittie look alike...

Last night at wierd Nikko lodge with onsen type bathroom- accidentally took shower with bridge. Train to Tokyo uneventful, ditched stuff at k's house hostel. Met Kai- charming hostel employee. Out to shinjuku followed by shibuya for drinks +++. Then located Greek restaurant called ???- good food but too much consumed!

Woke up around 10 and headed to Tokugawa mausoleum- sososososo busy! Next off to emperors villa, however newly modernised so not so cool, then trek to nearby abyss with lots of statues. Much walking done, dinner at chain japanese tapas place.

Woken up by slamming door in not so 'zen' hostel. Family Mart breakfast then off to Nikko. Golden week and a Saturday, station chaotic, never seen a Jr so packed- had to stand and nearly couldn't get off at our stop!
