One Night Stand

Well we finally made it to Narita (just outside Tokyo) after our 9 hour flight from Sydney. Since the only place I`ve really known is Adelaide, I`m used to reasonably small things, nothing too big. Well Sydney was a bit daunting especially considering the rather tight time schedule from the domestic flight to connect to the international one. With the Airport panic behind us it was time to enjoy the flight. Even though Paul and I were in Economy, there were a lot of empty seats and we managed to score 4 seats between the two of us. This is definitely a great bonus as I`m sure anyone who`s flown a packed economy flight would attest to.

This being the first international flight I`ve taken, the second trip I`ve taken by plane in my working memory and the fact that I couldn`t sleep last night meant that the flight really took it out of me. I`m very thankful for the overnight stay I`m having at Narita but I am a bit disappointed that I don`t have time to see the town of Narita it detail, even at a glance. We leave the hotel at 10am to get the flight and the busses to see Narita don`t really work around that schedule. I still don`t feel like I`ve really left Adelaide yet, but I`m sure that`ll change when we land at Heathrow. I`m not really looking forward to a 12 hour flight, but I think I`ll be relieved when I get there.

Next stop. London!
