Hi Mika,
It would seem that there was a bit of confusion with the language between me and the hotel reception. I’m glad the taxi driver we had was the correct one as he was very good.
We are back home now. I had a good time in Japan. I missed most of the snow monkey tour as I slipped in the snow and hurt my back. I went back to the train station while Caitlin went on. It would be nice to visit Japan again in perhaps spring or sometime when it is not so cold and snow. Caitlin has come back with some good memories, photos and heaps of purchases. She got to see the Dragon Painter in Nikko and watched as he painted her dragon, so she was thrilled with that.
So thank you for organising this trip for me.
Many thanks
Monica
