A day in Tokyo

Well we have successful made it to Japan and survived our first day in Tokyo.

James managed to sleep the entire flight over here, but we were all pretty exhausted after a full day of walking around Tokyo being tourists (most of the time James was on my shoulders). We mostly hung around Ikebukuro and all the crazy shops.

We are going to do a few more things around Tokyo today, including the Imperial Palace Gardens, Ginza (and the Sony Building) and a 7 storey building of kids activities. We are then going to head back to Narita (Tokyo Airport) and spend the night there.

Tomorrow we need to pick up the balloon and clear it through customs. I was talking to the freight company people yesterday. They seem to be over complicating things (and stressing themselves) by trying not to inconvenience us. Basically they have trying to work out a way that we can clear the balloon through customs, pick it up and not have us need to wait a couple of hours tomorrow.

Then we are heading up to Motegi and settling in.

The mission today is not over-exhaust ourselves today being tourists.
