Shortly back in Tokyo and on to Nagoya

Kii-Katsuura is just a small town, still, they have a direct overnight bus to Tokyo! We boarded the bus at 1930 hrs and arrived bright and early on 0530 a.m. at a bus station in Tokyo. Busses have recliner seats and are way more comfortable than airlines (Y-class) seats. It does not come close to sleeping in a bed, or even on a tatami mat... but it is cheap and it is convenient to travel at night, when traffic is low.
'Real' Travelers always depend on opportunities to 'break away' from the tourism routes and learn more about the countries they visit.

Cyril is one of the special persons who offered us to stay with her through Couchsurfing and learn more about living in Tokyo. As we stayed with Cyril when we just arrived in Tokyo, we could now just go back to her house... Arriving there before 0700 hrs in the morning we found a bunch of people still sleeping, but others were already packing and talking quietly. We really felt like coming home.

That day, we helped Cy to pack up her belongings as she was moving out of the apartment, we washed our clothes, we stayed at Cy's place for a night and then picked up our luggage, including the stuff she stored for us and moved on again on the next nightbus to Nagoya.

But not before meeting with Kiki, our 'new' friend from Taiji and later on with Rolf, our 'old' friend from previous travels.

Bye Tokyo, we had a really nice time !!
