Ferry fiasco

Everything was packed, everything was perfect, I went out on some last-minute errands and returned to find the ferry to Vladivostok was cancelled (bad weather) and Iain running around trying to make alternative arrangements.

Three hours before we had to head out to the airport, we decided we`d have to ditch the whole boat idea and fly 1970s Vladivostok Air planes to Vlad instead, plus leave it up to our (hopefully) accomodating Tokyo Hotel concierge to book it all for us once we arrived.

In Tokyo now, after a gyoza feast (better than we could have hoped, yum!) But a guy in a silky pirate shirt is kicking me off the free internet about now but suffice to say, it all worked out fine, really glad we decided to pay a bit extra for the good hotel, the efficiency is amazing! We arrive in Vlad on Friday so we get a couple of extra nights there, and one extra night in Tokyo.

All good, no stress... must go!
