been up for 6 hours, back of my ankles are killing me and my back is 'twinging' every so often. Want to do something with my last day, but the way I'm feeling (not healthy) I'd be hobbling around Shibuya - no fun, and Akiba would be just as bad.

So instead I've been sat watching Densha Otoko on YouTube and slowly packing. Later I'll hobble round the corner to the local convenience store and grab food and drink but I suspect my last day in Tokyo is going to be more or less hotel-room bound. ＿｜－｜O

Nikko Arrival

local time: 21:37

arrived in Nikko 4 hours ago... staying in the nice Park Lodge Nikko, with a friendly owner and friendly staff. Journey to Nikko from Tokyo was nondescript *although Kate I rode on the Tsubasa shinkansen* :)

Aside from that Nikko looks a bit Silent Hill - grey and daunting... hopefully tomorrow will be less eerie :)

Gaijin Invasion

I miss Adam and Joe... I wonder what they're doing now?
