Between flights
Tokyo Narita to Hong Kong on Hong Kong Airlines
I said there might be one more update, here it is.
I am now in Hong Kong. No signs of a riot. I cant type for long as I need to get about 10,000 more steps in 2.5 hours before my flight to hit my daily never ever miss it minimum quota, will I make it? I think so.
The flight to here was fine, I had a spare seat next to me, Airbus A330's really are the most comfortable jet to fly on.
Right now I am shoveling broccoli into my face hole in the Hong Kong Airlines Arius lounge. No time for a shower today, need to get walking.
This will be the last update for this trip, I will be back here posting in April 2020 for More Korea and Taiwan. Hopefully I can have great weather on that trip too, and not get sick. I had perfect health my whole time in Japan. OK I am just dribbling nonsense now.
Today I went to Narita airport on the N'ex train. The last few times I took the Kesei Skyliner. Nex is a lot slower than the Skyliner and runs only once every 90 minutes from Shinjuku. It runs more often from Tokyo but getting across town with bags on the Chuo rapid line would be painful, so I timed it for a Shinjuku Nex.
Inside of the N'ex. I hate typing that apostrophe.
Narita airport is still horrible. So dated. And so many lines. This is the line before entering the customs area. Just where they check you have a boarding pass. I got to skip the lines beyond this point, but they need to sort it out. The whole place still has no carpet, just concrete, for years now!
I did however find the tunnel that connects a couple of the terminal tentacles together. This was the highlight of my airport visit at Narita. I walked along it twice. No time to straighten this pic!
Last photo of this trip, my A330 on the ground at a very smoky hazy polluted Hong Kong.
