Minirolls Musings

Small Japanese Reunion

The hostel WiFi password is “checkout10am”, just in case you didn’t know. I made sure to be out on time, but still feeling a bit sluggish, I luxuriated in a lie-in. I had been up late chatting to a French girl called Lena and a Canadian lad called Doug about their travels. While waiting for my laundry to dry, they gave me the name of a good sushi restaurant for a date night.

Akihabara Snooping

The £16-a-night hostel is amazing. For the money, you really cannot ask for more.

Wednesday Tokyo Whoopers

I seem to have misplaced a day, so I’ve got to count a 2-hour nap as a turn of the day.

On Standby

Waking up seeing the wheels of an A380 coming at you is a little disconcerting, to say the least.

Crazy Teppenyaki

One wrong turn out of Banff and we got on our way back to Calgary. I’ve got the hang of this RV thing now. The roads are huge here and the campsites all set up for touring, makes things so easy. I’m not sure it would be so easy in the UK.

Bow Glacial Lake

Who knew such a great day could start with dumping poop out the RV?

Skytram Trek

We walked so far today.

SO FAR!

Aimi’s brilliant idea was to walk from our campsite to the Skytram. It was 6.1km there following some tracks but the main hill up to the cable car was following the road. It took so long to walk that road, the shuttle bus driver passed us twice and decided to pull over to give us a lift the last kilometer to the top.
