Feb 16: In transit.



We are in Tokyo (Narito airport) after travelling for 20 hours so far. We flew across the Pacific ocean for the first time ever today. Much to my surprise we actually flew north of Alaska and over parts of Siberia. The terrain became more interesting as we flew farther and farther north. The last stretch over Siberia was beautiful with snow white mountains coming right down to the ocean. We did not see any signs of civilization until we hit the Japanese islands. The second hop of the journey was a 13 hour flight – definite too long, but they kept feeding us and we survived. My rear end is sore.
