Well, if you noticed that previous post you might have deducted that we're back from our holiday. Not that I had announced that we were leaving... there was suddenly so much to do the couple of days before we left, I never got around to writing a short entry saying I'd be gone for month. What little time I spent on the computer was spend trying to install a plugin that would close all old entries for comments in an attempt to prevent too much spam from getting through while I wasn't watching. The plugin wouldn't work and I ended up yanking the comment script from the site just before we left. Oh well...

We travelled around Japan for 4 weeks and had a fantastic holiday. We covered quite a bit of ground by hire car and train, going from Tokyo to Nikko, to Matsumoto, to Takayama, to Ainokura, to Kanazawa, to Kyoto, to Mt. Koya, back to Kyoto, to Himeji, to Yonago, to Hiroshima, to Yufuin, to Fukuoka, and back home. There was so much we saw, tasted, and experienced that I'm not even going to try to describe it in one blogpost. Rather, I'll try to post some observations as and when I happen to think about them in the next couple of weeks. At least there are a couple of reasons why it's good to be back home: I'm not bumping my head into doorposts, ceilings and lamps 27 times a day anymore; decent toilet paper and not that 'see through thin, it'll rip any which way but the way it's supposed to rip' stuff that seems universal in Japan; and most importantly, good coffee!

Comments and Trackbacks

  1. Welcome back!

    You've been missed, and it was a little frustrating not to know that you were away that long :)

    I bet Trekpleister has something that makes the dents in your head go away...

Comments and trackbacks have been closed on this site. My apologies.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
