For a Life Less Ordinary.
So that’s it. The trip is over, and i’m back at home. I didn’t escape the jet lag this time round, but not to worry. The flight was fine and on time. For old times sake, I rinsed the drinks trolley once again. Perhaps foolishly I ended up going out on the town on Friday night!
Well, it’s been an eventful few days!
On Wednesday I went on a Desert Safari excursion. Pickup was around lunchtime so I just lazed around the pool in the hotel again and watched a bit of TV. Days of Thunder was on – great film. I was picked up from the door in a Toyota Landcruiser. We had to go to another hotel to pick up another group, and from there it was off to the desert. Our particular spot was around 45mins drive. We stopped half way there to meet the other cars. Much to my surprise (and delight!) people were standing around shops eating and drinking. The locals had no issue with this (they were selling the stuff) so I stocked up. I must admit, I felt a little guilty standing drinking when they had to go all day in 45+ degree heat without a drop to drink!
Had a great day in Kobe yesterday – enjoyed the sunshine, had a look around the shops and then finished off the day in a bar, where we had a good laugh at the adventures of the last few weeks. Those big lockers in the train stations are extremely handy! From there it was on to the coach to the airport, where I sat at the back and enjoyed a nice can of Asahi beer while reflecting on the experiences of my trip.
