The Purple Penguin

Oh dear, last day of holiday. This is a relaxing day, just walking about and checking e-mail and generally doing not much. Going to have to repack the bags tonight and make sure we’re ready for the flight tomorrow morning. Rich, you may just be surprised at how much can be stuffed into your rucksack! We are flying out tomorrow morning, details for those of you who may be interested: Virgin Flight number VS901 leaving Narita Airport at 11:00 and arriving at London Heathrow at, err, around 16:00 – there isn’t a time on the ticket!

Had a great day yesterday. Went to Disney Sea rather than Disneyland – a bit smaller and not as many rides, but it was different and we had a good day. Managed to keep ourselves busy there all day. It was a very easy day and very few people. The longest we had to wait for a ride was about half an hour and by the afternoon we were just walking onto anything we wanted to ride. However, it becomes very clear how much Disney rides rely on narrative when you can’t understand the narrative! Still we enjoyed the sheer fun of the place even if we didn’t always know exactly what was going on. We also had one of the best meals we’ve had this trip. We ate at the only Japanese resturant on the site and went all out – starter, main course and pudding. Joe had mackeral starter, sushi main course, and pink blossom cheesecake. I got the sushi starter, pork cutlets, and a mixed desert plate which had a cake (similar to a pound cake), rice balls in red bean sauce, some chewy squares of something that we never quite figured out, and fruit. Lovely. A really nice way to end the holiday.

We’ll probably update this one last time once we’re home, but we’ll see some of you soon!
