Tokyo

=TOKYO= well we spent last night here after arriving around 5pm had a meal, slept, had brekkie and left. The weather was a bit of a shock - 34C. I probably should have checked the weather for Tokyo ... then I wouldn't be wearing long corduroy pants and sweltering. And, of course, as we had booked our luggage through, I had to wear them last night and this morning when we left. Luckily, our Premium Economy class tickets give us entrance to the Sakura Lounge which is airconditioned (plus all the usual lounge goodies - food, wine, beer, coffee etc)
 * OK so now we have BEEN to Japan? ???

|| The flight over was uneventful (except for being too warm). Our Premium Economy seats were very comfy and spacious (compared to usual cattle class). Basically they have 8 seats across instead of 9 and the compartment has 5 rows rather than the usual 6 in the same space thus giving a little more room all around. Also got express passage through check in and customs in Sydney (probably worth it for that alone!)

On to London....
