Tokyo, Japan
I am proud
of my boys for their ability to take on this journey. I told them from the
start this was not going to be a vacation. It has been an epic adventure. We
have been away from home 193 days, travelled across 4 continents and through 13
countries. We have swam in 4 of the 5 oceans. We have travelled by plane,
train, car, boat, subway, ferry, streetcar, bicycle, taxi, tuk tuk, bus, cable
car and many miles on foot.
The longest
consecutive time we stayed put was for 14 nights in the same apartment in Cape
Town. After that we have constantly been on the move. We have slept in
apartments, trains, a tree house, airports, tents, an SUV, a van, cottages, on
planes and in houses.
Today is the last day of our trip. We plan on going to the old part of Tokyo, Nippori (also the called fabric town, but boys don't know this), and want to do a walking tour around Tokyo station to see the Imperial Palace.
Our flight leaves Tokyo at 9:50PM. We will have a layover in Vancouver for a few hours and get to do Saturday all over again. 14 hours time change is interesting.
31 hours until we will be in Manitoba. It's going to be a long day!
Looking forward to a brown dog and a brown house.
