1) Photo's - some of our lovely friends who came to see us off at the airport. 2) Us all at Narita Temple
Saying goodbye to our lovely friends at Canberra airport and Sydney was a lot harder than we thought it was going to be - there were a few tears shed, but it was so lovely to have people come to see us off. Up to now we have been so focused on getting the house ready, that we haven't had a chance to get really excited about the trip.
We were amazed when we checked in to JAL in Sydney, that the lady remembered us from last year - now that is amazing service. We had a good flight to Narita (and were REALLY surprised that the plane had a disabled toilet - YAY JAL), and enjoyed going back to the Ryokan (Japanese Inn) that we stayed at last time. We had lots of yummy Japanese food, a nice soak in a Japanese Ofuro (bath) and a good night's sleep on the futon.
The flight from Narita to Milan was not as pleasant, as the plane was smaller and older, and the in flight entertainment was a bit limited (and the food was pretty underwhelming as well). We were lucky that we had one extra seat and so took turns to sit in that spot and get some sleep. As always, the stewardesses were amazingly good, and all around we enjoyed the flight (but enjoyed it being over even more).
We've only had 1 night here in Italy (Milan) - and haven't had a chance to do anything yet as we are so jetlagged, but we are looking forward to picking up our car and exploring.
Talk to you soon
