And so there I was, waiting the train platform to head to my modern form of air transport when out of the blue (blue, blue sky that is) one of the earlier forms of air transport appeared. Kind of appropriate I guess.

And once at the airport, it was a matter of waiting and watching for the boarding call and then waiting, reading, dozing etc until such time as the plane arrived in Tokyo some 8-9 hours later.
It is pretty amazing really, when you think about it.

| That gate |
We dodged a few typhoons along the way, including 'no. 10' which was due to make landfall north of Tokyo tomorrow. Still, it made itself known as I sat on the bus on the way to the next train platform, and then another bus and a short walk home...

| Typhoon no 10 |
Seventeen hours door to door, planes, trains and buses...couldn't have done that with the early form of air transport...
And so now, it is back to work.
