Konichiwa!

We are in Tokyo (Iogi actually) staying with our great friend Jessica Smith.

It was blisteringly hot yesterday. We only managed to walk for 15 minutes to the train station before suffering from heat exhaustion and deciding it was too much effort to actually board a train. We took refuge in a supermarket instead where it was cool and browsed the isles looking at all the different types of local food. It was great fun and we spent nearly 2 hours at it!

We have spent some considerable time sampling the local beer from the comfort of Jess`s massage chair and hope to get out and about in the next couple of days.

We have no access to the mobile phone network here. Sorry if you were awaiting a response to a message you have left us...
