a few final pics from Japan - Hiroshima and Miyajima. That deer ate our map guide and Tess got the shot of the monkeys up the montain.
We did Saturday May 2nd twice. The first one in Japan, travelling from Hiroshima via Tokyo and onto Narita airport for our 7pm flight. The second began as we arrived at 12 noon at Vancouver - but it was also Saturday May 2nd so we spent the second one with Rachelle and partner Sheldon and his two children, had a couple of hours sleep and went out to a Greek restaurant in the evening. Such is the effect of crossing the international date line.
Thank heavens I don't have a day date calendar watch - I think I would still be adjusting it!
Two words of praise for Air Canada. First for their excellent entertainment system, essential for those like me who never can sleep on aircraft. Apart from that wonderful gps system so you can follow the flight path it included a wide range of films on demand including foreign, arthouse, classic and of course hollywood categories and we watched the excellent Terence Davies film on Liverpool (I also passed part of the nine hour flight watching the Tom Cruise film Valkyrie which at least passed the time!). And a second word of praise for Air Canada for clearly welcoming the more mature flight attendant, mind you some of them get a bit sassy with the advancing years!

What did you do to annoy the flight attendant then?
Odd. Vancouver sounds close so home. Japan's not too bad but Chiang Mai sounds miles away. And it's nothing to do with distance
Brian. I think I sat on that very bench for a shot of the famous Hiroshima dome way back in 1985. I also saw that famous tori in Miyajima. Unfortunately, it was low tide at that time and we could only see mud around it.
Hey. You guys got out of Japan just in time before the H1N1 got really fience.
