Here we go again!

Tomorrow I start new travel adventure to Japan.  A place I have always found interesting and wanted to visit.

Those of you who have followed my travels cannot have failed to notice that I normally travel alone but this journey will be different as my friends Diane and Gary are coming with me. So I have bought some new clothes, packed my case and am ready to jet off to the first stop in Tokyo.

I must say I am a bit apprehensive about the long travel time. London to hong kong will be 12 hours, then  a 3 hour stop over before the final leg to tokyo of 4 hours.

In the days before a new journey I cannot help but remember the high points of previous travels

A great wish of mine for many years was to visit the great Wall of China !
Which was a superb trip and one that always sticks in my mind.
Kazakhstan was another wonderful place. This is the Bayterek tower where the Samruk bird laid this golden egg which contains the secret to human happiness.
And I cannot forget Mongolia ! A long day trip to the Chingis Khan statue and the climb up to stand on top of his horse’s head
Made it to the top via a lift in the horse’s tail
A private tour of Star City near Moscow where all Russian cosmonauts undergo their training. Here is my guide next to a statue of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space.
An unforgettable visit to Chernobyl, the site of the world’s worst nuclear power accident. This is the scene in the kindergarten showing the discarded toys when a very hasty evacuation took place. Was a very emotional place.

So let’s see where the next 3 weeks takes me on trip through Japan. I hope can follow my blog and that I can show you some interesting sights.
