Day 9 - Home.

The returners....

James, Andy, Nick (from Ireland) and I were up and out of the hotel at 07:00, we travelled to Nippori and changed onto the Keisei Skyliner train and arrived at the Airport at about 09:00. 

Nick was flying BA at 13:00, so we said goodbye, and then we checked in. We had 30 minutes to get breakfast etc, I had managed to blag a ticket to the executive lounge. Nice. 

The flight was long and un-eventful. There was loads of space on the plane. 

At Heathrow all three of us felt that England was dirty, rude and pretty nasty in comparison to Japan. Interesting thoughts.....

Andy and James had a lift back but there wasn't enough space for me, so I took the coach then a Taxi. I was home by about 17:30 (BST). Not bad.

What a trip...! 

The Kyoto Kendo watchers....

They travelled back to Kyoto, staying at the Za Zen guest house, with the most amazingly named website www.friendship-funhouse.com/index_e.html (no - not a brothel!)

... I am deeply impressed. Congratulations to everybody! I would love to hear the stories directly from you in the pub. I'll have some tests this week so I will not come to UK in May but your story makes me having itchy feet. So I will plan to visit you this summer.

take care,
Jonas
