Japan Day 18: Farewell Japan

Wow I can't believe we are leaving!  The trip was a whirlwind and I am definitely ready for a rest but will miss Japan very much.

Eliza and I awoke at the regular time and we went downstairs for another pastry breakfast with my parents and Chieko.

Eliza and I wanted to get something for Chieko so we went to the local grocery store to buy some flowers. While we were there Eliza visited the candy aisle and picked up a huge bag of candy for her friends and family back home.

We hussled back home to deliver our gift and then it was back out the door to the train station. Chieko and my parents walked us there and we had one last group photo before heading on our way. It was sad saying bye to my parents after traveling with them for so long and having such a good time (they are great travel buddies and I'm lucky they are cool to travel with!). However I will he seeing them in less than 2 months so I know it will be quick to see them again!

Eliza and I hopped on a few trains to get to the airport and after a bit of a stressful no-ticket situation on the airport express we made it to the airport on time.

We had enough time for one last curry katsu and hulk float before we were sitting on a plane bound for Taiwan!

Our Japan trip was over, but the unforgettable memories, generosity of our relatives, and friendships made will last a lifetime!
