All the elevators in Tokyo have a female voice calling out the floors and when the door opens. She sounds just like Minnie Mouse and it sounds like she is calling Mickie. It's hysterical. We had to buy a new suitcase today because ours broke. In fact they both broke but one is hopefully going to make it home.
We went to the major shrine area today and it was fabulous. Lots of interesting things and people. So much to see and discover. We loved it and didn't want to leave. But it was finally time so we found our way to the Narita Express which took some doing navigating that humongous station. We got to this fabulous airport with time to shop and walk about nine miles to the gate. I sure got my steps in for today. We are about to depart.
This was a long trip covering many thousands of miles and several distinct cultures and sub cultures with loads of interesting things to see and do. I think my favorite was Japan. I would have liked to spend more time in Kyoto and I would have loved to stay in a riokan but Jerry was afraid he wouldn't be able to get up off the floor (that's where the beds are ). Oh well, maybe next time.
We are home now and have just completed one entire circumnavigation of the globe! We are so proud that we took everything in stride and didn't kill each other in the process. It was something we have always wanted to do and we've done it!
I will start posting photos shortly.
