We're back, and we are both still alive in case you were starting to worry there! Due to severe technical difficulties in the desert at Ayers Rock, we have not been able to upload our photos or blog for the past 2 days! Due to the large amount of travel involved in 2 of the last 3 days, this blog should bring you back up to date pretty quickly!

Our first full day in Tokyo was also our last full day in Tokyo, but this did not deter us as we set off for another day of sightseeing.. This time, we had 2 old favourites on the menu: shopping and temples! First stop was a small coffee shop just outside our hotel where we managed to find someone able to provide us with toast and tea rather than the now commonplace small fish, rice and salads! 2 veritable doorstops of toast later we sluggishly set about getting...
