First Breakfast


Went to Royal Host (looks a little like Denny's) for my favorite Japanese breakfast but they were not open yet. Walked around the neighborhood and discovered a tiny coffee shop (2 tables and a few stools) run by an elderly man who made yummy pancakes for David and a very good egg sandwich for me. A good find that we will most likely return to again.

David spent much of the afternoon trying to to straighten out the problem we are having with getting wi-fi. (The service provider will no longer take foreign credit card) Not connected yet at the house however David found a very temporary solution to get a few e-mails by using some live wi-fi he found floating around in the sky above  one corner of the playground across the street.

Not as tired on the first day as we have been in past trips. Don't know if it is because we flew at a different time or if we are just getting used to 22 hours of travel before we arrive.
