The Buddhists say that every journey begins with the first step – but they obviously never flew Qantas from Hobart to Tokyo. We were trapped in tiny seats with no leg room with the kid behind us kicking the seat. No steps were taken.
Arrived Tokyo Narita airport about 6:30 pm after a 6:00 am departure from Hobart. Picked up the pocket wifi (a godsend as it turns out – onya Jules) and charged up the Suica Cards (thanks Avril) which it turns out can be used on the subway and to buy beer. Seventeen subway line changes later we made it to our A1 accommodation in the fancy suburb of Asakasa. Made a mercy dash to the 7-11 (love Japanese Seven Elevens – they sell Ramen and not Slurpees) for beer and other high salt stuff. Sleeeeeepppp…..
