Well after a turbulent time with Duchess, for those of you that dont know, we packed up and sadly but gladly did the sensible thing and left Oz whilst we could still afford our flight home!!! Sad as we didnt get to spend the whole year but on the other hand glad that we had an easy happy trouble free 8 months!! So we booked our flight, allowing us to spend another 10 days in Cairns - to relax and see the great barrier, then managed to squeeze in a 4 day trip to Japan on way back!!! Which was awesome...saw some real sumo, which was lucky as its only on 3 times a year. Alain shopped til she literally dropped...and left Mark in a bar whilst she did so!! Tokyo is a fab place, it has it all...apart from English food menu's so ordering food is a lucky dip! They have tried to solve the language barriers by kindly putting wax displays of their foods in the windows (see pic) but this just puts you off instead!! Bars and clubs v.v.cool!!! Would be great place to come for a weekend---just a bit bloody too far!! Japanese very nice and v.smart!!!! No litter, this place was what we expected from Singapore but it was soooo much nicer!!! Plus it was half the price of singapore (Note: dont go to Singapore!) And all the weird and wonderful things you have heard about the place is true!! Dogs are sooo spolit here, they are all clothed, there is trainers for them, and if they are not being carried by their owners they are have their very own pushchairs which ARE allowed in restaurants (see pic) and fed with mineral water out of the same sports bottles we use!!! Its truly a crazy crazy world!!!!
So we jumped on our BA flights and now we're back in good ol'Blighty, for our sins!! What a shock...horror! But we're gradually getting use to it...Sorry for those we havent been in touch with yet...its been abit manic trying to get our lifes on track again!!!
But we are getting there...and now busy packing for our next adventure...Cardiff!!
We'll do another blog entry there...
love M & A
