Only one more sleep :)

Well, we had a great wake-up today with the Australian Air Express van delivering our ASUS tablet back form Sydney after requiring a new power adapter.

The guys at Dingotech in Silverwater have been fantastic and pulled out all stops for us. The turnaround time for repairs is usually 10-15 days - they repaired our tablet and got it back to us in 5!!! Service is still there is some industries. Thanks Dingotech. It started up and  all the extra apps and ebooks are still there. Hooray

We've confirmed our Tokyo guides and will be meeting Yoshiko at our Ryokan at 0800. We hope to do some sightseeing after teriyaki burgers for breakfast :) Yoshiko sent us a website with a wonderful display of azalea flowers Azaleas at Nezu Shrine as cherry blossom will have finished by the time we get into Tokyo.

Miki is taking us to the Tzukiji Fish Market and on to the Hamarikyu Garden . We'll take a cruise back to Asakusa on the Sumida-gawa.

Himeji in Hyogo Prefecture is a sister city of Adelaide and we will be meeting Masahiro Sakaguchi, Chief, Cultural Exchange Section Himeji City Office, Himeji International Exchange Centre. We're both looking to visiting Himeji-jo (White Heron Castle) and the gardens surrounding the buildings. Gerry took a few photos of the Adelaide Himeji gardens including this signpost.


So, see you in Tokyo.
