The flight from LHR to Narita was excellent. Especially since, unusually, I slept for 8 hours after the dinner was served. Maybe it was the two double G and T's plus a belt of sake ...
The U-City hotel Narita is as pleasant as ever and ideally located ... the shuttle service makes for an easy transfer from the airport.
We wandered down to the main temple complex and gardens in warming sunshine. What a change from the pouring rain that greeted us at the airport.
Keeping awake seems to be the main problem after the 12 hour flight but, a couple of coffees seems to help ... plus a steady wandering pace from place to place. No doubt we'll be time-adjusted tonight.
It's better to travel than arrive ... then again ...
