A long day
Two meals, four movies, 3 Ted Talks and half a documentary later I am finally here. A delayed start when it was discovered that aircraft #1 had a dodgy engine. They found another plane, and only three hours late, we departed. That means I'm installed in my hotel room (after a 140km/hr taxi ride) at the civilised local time of 10pm and the rather uncivilised body clock time of 2am. So off to bed.
NB: For your interest, the movies were:
Lost in Translation (thanks Sharon for the recommendation and a touch of Tokyo and Kyoto)
In the Zone
Juliet, Naked
The Danish Girl

Fantastic! Glad you're safe and sound and hopefully still sleeping soundly despite the body's likely inclination to wake up inappropriately. Very fine film choices. Looking forward to day one proper!
ReplyDeleteNot quite the start to your international travel that you anticipated...but hey, all's well. Now the real adventure begins. Have a beaut day.
ReplyDeleteFor the record the dare-devil taxi ride from Narita Airport to the hotel cost $338. Happily, I will be reimbursed.
ReplyDeleteReuben was also delayed by 3 hours when he left Auckland....sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Hope you liked Lost in Translation. Love the music. Lots of online speculation as to what is whispered to Scarlett Johannson by Bill Murray in the final scenes.
