Japan...

Next stop, Tokyo. Molly and I spent a month in Japan, starting at her best friend's place in Tokyo. My true motive originally for this trip was to snowboard on some of the planet's best, driest powder, so boards in hand, we set off. As luck would have it though, their season ended early (global warming?), but before it did, we got some good time in at Hakuba. With the snow thinning however, we were free to explore the country; and explore it we did – from to Nagasaki to Niseko, ending our trip staying with an old friend of mine who lives in the Niseko snow fields of Hokkaido.

I will write in detail about this later, when I have my written journal notes in front of me (which probably wont be until after I arrive back in Adelaide around March having completed an Antarctic campaign with the Sea Shepherd - but more on this later).

When we return from Japan we have two things to do: sell Chester (Molly's campervan), and prepare then move to Hobart. But before we do either of those we decide to make use of our 'in-between phases of our life' status, and go to Queensland to do a Lomi Lomi massage course.
