The comeback kids: Day 1

So, we're back again. I was almost having second thoughts on the plane - why didn't we go somewhere else?? But all it took was a good night's sleep and the warm Tokyo weather to remind us why we came back.

Here's the re-cap from when we left at 4:45am. This time we flew Melbourne - Gold Coast - Tokyo. We forked out for a Star Class upgrade. Totally worth it.

Somewhere off the coast of QLD:

In Star Class the food's about the same, there's just more of it.

We land and find our way to our hotel. Gotta pick up a few things first of course. The Japanese are serious about snacks.

Some beef things, which may or may not have been dog treats.

After a good night's sleep we hit Roppongi for the National Art Centre and Mori Art Museum.

Right now we're back at the awesome little Hotel Fukudaya sippin beer about to go out for dinner. Peace!
