The end of the journey

It was back on the Shinkansen at Nagano for a fast trip to Tokyo, then a change to the Narita Airport Express, then a taxi to the Crowne Plaza, then a free bus to Narita Station and a walk through Narita town, by this time it was getting dark, but not too dark to visit the 700 year old temple and walk up the steps to view the real temple where no  photographs are allowed. shame it was too dark to view the gardens.

 Its all down hill to view the temple and then its a steep walk back up the hill, but finding another rabbit was a reminder how nice rabbits are, especially the chinese astrology ones.

 We hadn't eaten and all the Japanese places were vegetarian unfriendly, so what better than a Mexican place, that wasn't something we had eaten for a while and it was good enough.  We were still looking for more strawberry cake so took the free Hilton bus (only for Hilton Hotel guests the sign in the bus said, but no one checks) from Narita Station to the Aeon shopping mall, but still missed out on the strawberry cake we wanted, it was late so we got a taxi back to the Crowne.

 

 Next morning it was a quick but good breakfast and in the hotel, then the bus to the Airport, a bit of duty free shopping and then clear views of all the snow which had been falling in Japan from the window of our flight to Hong Kong.

 Then it was onto our flight by Air Pacific back to Nadi, we had an evening meal which was passable but breakfast for all the vegetarians in economy was a cold bread roll, butter  4 small chunks of fruit and a small water, Alex calls them Air Pathetic, and Chris said even the prisoners in the gaol would get a better breakast, what made us laugh was that the breakfast menu had been chosen by a group of priority customers.  On landing we headed off to the Hilton for a better breakfast, the food was OK but the flies were terrible and none of the food was covered, so we had to watch what we were choosing.    Then taking turns on the drive back to Suva  to unpack, get used to the hot weather again and realise what a great time we had.
