Cruise to Japan Day 11 - Back in South Africa - 01 October 2023

Most amazing birthday today. Started with birthday cake for breakfast courtesy of Carolyn and Terrance, so beautiful and so yummy. 

Then together with Amy, Andrew and Michael, all 6 of us escaped from a room with clues based on a murdered journalist at a place in the waterfront, so much fun after which we went to JC Le Roux for wine tastings and a fantastic lunch - a complete Surprise.

Looking forward to the sexy sixties.

Cruise to Japan Day 10 - Flight back to CT - 30 September 2023

After some more retail therapy at Narita airport, we got on to our flight of 13 hours that included a stop in Seoul. We landed in Addis Ababa to catch the flight to CT. Michael tells me it is his last flight on Ethiopian Airlines. They are effective and efficient but their attention to detail is terrible. 

There were empty seats and after realising my monitor for the movies did not work, I asked the air hostess if I could switch. She said she would get back to me and promptly ignored me the rest of the flight, not a must but fairly irritating specially as the aircon also did not work.

Terrance fetched us from CT airport and after a good catch-up with Andrew, Amy, Carolyn and Terrance where we had dinner as take aways from the curry club we went to bed exhausted and happy.
