Well, all good things have to come to an end and we arrived home on Saturday evening … weary but happy travellers. We spent our last couple of days in Japan at Nikko where there are a series of fabulously decorated shrines, including a frieze with the original three wise monkeys. Nikko is in the foothills of the mountains. The weather continued cold and we had very heavy snow one afternoon.
We spent our very last day in Tokyo buying all the little bits we wanted to bring home. It fulfilled our every expectation – busy, noisy, crowded and exhausting.
We were very lucky to be offered an upgrade by BA so we had a very comfortable flight home – a very uneventful journey. And, as every good travel show should end with a sunset, here’s one over Tokyo taken from the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan City Builidng.
