Today I woke up not feeling very good. My stomach was hurting, so I decided not to grab any breakfast and instead just got ready for our hike. We started the hike by leaving our guesthouse and walking through the city towards the edge, where we could see the gates that represented the start of […]

Today we woke up early at 6:30 after a not-so-great night and got ready just in time for breakfast. There, I tried some of the Kyrgyz breakfast cakes before we went back upstairs to grab our stuff and bring it down to the bus. As we got to reception at exactly the time we had […]

I wanted to sleep in today as we went to bed at 4:30am last night, but Antoine insisted on getting up at 9:30am to try our first Kyrgyzstani breakfast. Running on barely 5 hours of sleep, we went down to eat. The hotel breakfast was not traditional and underwhelming to be honest, so we just […]

Today we woke up extra early to catch the first DLR from Cutty Sark towards Liverpool Street, where we were then able to catch the Stansted Express. Once at Stansted, we got through fairly quickly and waited in the boarding lounge, eating our morning sushi while we waited for the plane. Our first flight to […]

Today we woke up at 4:30 and got ready, grabbed our luggage and went downstairs to meet our taxi so that we could go to the airport. After a 30 minute drive we made it to the airport, where we were only 2 hours early, and the aiport was already quite packed. Thnkfully we managed […]

We got up at 7am today to check out and catch the Shinkansen train. We grabbed our essential bento boxes and arrived at the platform, with a full 45 minutes still to spare. I was tired and blamed Antoine for rushing us and not letting me sleep more this morning. He quickly went to get […]

There was one essential Japanese activity we hadn’t done yet on this trip, the onsen experience. Since traditional public onsens don’t allow mixed genders, we booked a private bath in Osaka. We went for the earliest slot at 9am, since we’re usually up around 7 anyway. We arrived just before opening and joined a queue […]

Today we had a lunch booked in Kobe to try the famous Kobe beef. We decided to have a chill morning until then, since we needed to rest more. After a bit of sleep and doing nothing for once, we left around 10:30am to drive to the restaurant. It was a small place run by […]

Today we woke up feeling much more refreshed than the day before, thanks to finally sleeping on a real bed. We picked up our box car from the hotel’s stacked garage system, which felt like a mini attraction on its own. The car would roll onto a platform, rotate automatically, and then go into the […]
