9 Sleeps.....

Well only nine sleeps to go..
I am getting a bit nervous now. All will be fine.
Must admit we are looking forward to the adventure.
Have booked a Hato Bus tour for the morning after we arrive. Tokyo and surrounds for a few hours.
It will hopefully allow us to get our bearings for future expeditions.
The tour luckily has a portion around our hotel and surrounds. Near Akihabara (close to Electric Town)...woohoo !!!
Go to Hato for a choice of Tokyo tours.
Another good website is Japanese National Tourism Org. Links to maps (found some great ones for Okayama and Hiroshima).
Email them for a handy Tourist's Language Handbook (fits in the pocket). Look for sites for your local office.
If anyone can help with which power adaptor is best, it would be appreciated. I have one with two flat pins and one round pin. The other I have seen is two flat pins only. Hmmmmmm ???
Maybe take two? Anyway...
Japan, here we come.
More soon.

Hey marckam, the round pin is for earthing and isn't crucial to operations (though of course it is a good idea). The problem is that if you want to plug into a socket that doesn't have an earthing 'hole', you won't be able to use that adaptor, so the one without the round pin would be more flexible. I hope I'm making sense
