I bookended my Europe trip with a night in Hong Kong at either end to break the trip and allow for some decent sleep between the long flights.

London House, East Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
I think I’ve been here several years ago when the bar / restaurant was called something else.
London House looks over busy Salsibury Road onto Victoria Harbour and over to Causeway Bay.

Japan 2018 trip – a retrospective
My fourth trip to Japan took place in the northern hemisphere autumn in October.
The weather was still very pleasant with only a couple of days that were cold and wet while there were also warm days thrown into the mix.
I flew into Narita from Melbourne on a Monday evening and rather than taking the train as I have done in the past I chose to take the limousine bus that would drop me right at my hotel, the ANA InterContinental Tokyo. If I’d taken the train I would have had to change to the Ginza subway line at Ueno and then walk about 500m to the hotel. My guess is that the bus saved me 30 minutes or so.

I like the InterContinental Tokyo hotel. This was my 5th stay at the hotel having stayed here in 2015, 2016, 2017 and at the start of this trip before I headed to Toyama.

Masamune, Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan
The last day of my 4th Japan trip had arrived and after popping into Bic Camera in Akasaka I strolled back towards my hotel and along the way I knew I’d be heading past a restaurant called Masamune which specialises in tonkatsu, crumbed pork cutlets.
