JAPAN 4TH - 6TH

We went back in time one hour and foward in technology years.
First 2 major discussion, how warm do we want the toilet seat, or the bidet to wash, dry shower or jet stream your bum.
The people are so polite and gentle cant do enough for you. Nearly got the art of bowing, but the stomach getting bigger by the amout of fuel, but it prevents the low from the waist bow to just the shoulder one.
Food has been unbelievable and plentiful, the choice of about 50 different sweets, eat as much as you can followed by a magnificet meal of lobster, crab, scollops, shrimp and a multitude of other dishes.
The sightseeing was just like everything else the japanese do, at a fast pace. We fitted in one day, tour of Mt Fuji, ride on a lake, cablecar ride up a mountain and over a steaming crater, traditional japanese lunch, rode on the bullet train that goes at 289kms per hour that was all after a multicourse breakfast and before the dinner mentioned above. We have seen where Emporers live and heard their side of history we really needed to stay longer and another visit would be worthwhile and there is NO tipping.
Arrived safely in UK where I am posting this from ....... more to come later and we hope to post a pic or 2 soon
