A Longer Trip to Hokkaido

[drron]

The food though was very basic.








But they did have curry bread which I do like.




The rain was starting to settle.

 

[drron]

The last views from the lounge.




Then we boarded and the rain began again.




And by take off it was heavy.




The clouds didn't clear until we were approaching HND.

 

[Quickstatus]

Bittersweet?

 

[drron]

It's a race.


Smog over HND.




And we are down.

 

[drron]

We had a really long taxi to the gate. Good for plane spotting.






Caught the bus from T2 to T3 and soon at the Villa Hotel Grande and only 5 minutes until the Check in machines were turned on. I now make a deliberate mistake and a staff member comes and does it all for me. And she gave us a good upgrade - a much bigger room with a view, First the room.








Must have known it was going to be our last stay.

 

[drron]

And the view. Very pleasant.

We then went downstairs and had a look at the shops and restaurants. There had been a few closures since our visit 3 months ago.




Matcha donuts.




Didn't find anything for dinner so went back to the terminal. First some of the decorations.

 

[drron]

W ent to a Japanese restaurant we have eaten at before. Was a bit of a wait for a table. A reasonable meal. Mrsdrron had her usual salmon bowl and I tempura with added fried oysters.




Back to the hotel and the last view of the corridor.


And the night view.
