Today we awoke in Japan.

Trip from Tas to Melbourne was fine, the trip to Cairns the next day after a 4am start, was cramped and not the best 3 hours I have spent lately (Jetstar seem to have added a row or two of seats into their jets post COVID), but the trip on the bigger jet to Osaka was awesome.

Roomy, half empty (holidays are over in most states in Australia), pleasantly temperature controlled and even decent movies.

Arrival in the early evening was comfortingly familiar, so not culture shock…yet.

Just tooling around the station, Sanjo area and one of our favourite temples.

A light day, just to get the vibe back.
