What. A. Day.
So we woke up this morning and started heading to tokyo- our last stop for our trip. And then it started..
We had a flight booked with a one hour connection in beijing,china. Our first flight got delayed and upon getting to beijing, we had to run through the airport, through security and barely made our flight. The only reason we made it was because an airport security man driving a buggy saw we were running so he picked us up and drove us to our gate. He then of course lied and told us his services cost money...oh and then i twisted my knee.
We finally got to tokyo and as we were getting off the plane, we were greeted by a very cute japanese girl holding a sign for 'mr.eric bruner'. On our first flight to thailand, we were greeted in the same way because of our first class tickets, and we were given a special buggy ride through the airport to a VIP immigration check in. However, this was different.
We find out that our bags didnt make it and we had to stay in the airport for an extra 2 hours sorting the situation out.
During these two hours, we learned that our hotel had lost our reservation and had no record of our stay. Perfect.
We finally were able to leave the airport, and learned our biggest lesson of the trip. DO NOT take a taxi from Narita Airport into Tokyo. Period.
So after our awful day, we finally checked in to our hotel after midnight and needed to find a way to make our day better... So we decided to walk (i limped) to a nearby sushi restaurant.
The best ending to an awful day.
Fresh, delicious sushi in japan. What can be better?
Well it can only get better...right?
And off we go to bed, in our kimonos because we don't have our suitcases with us!
