Last Day

Sorry - no photos today - on a kiosk at Narita Airport and there are no USB ports.

The boys were up early and we think managed to pack without leaving anything behind (but I guess we'll only really know at home tomorrow).

We headed to Disney Sea in Tokyo. It's a massive theme park, modelled on the Seven Seas, right beside Disneyland. The weather conspired against us though, and we left an hour earlier than planned because it became wet and miserable, but not before the boys test drove attractions like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull ride, the Tower of Terror, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and the Raging Spirits rollercoaster.

The boys then discovered the shopping joys of Narita Airport (they are little retail fiends, aren't they???). Necessities like batteries, through to jewellery, Kimonos, and souvenirs of our time over here. Last chance to stock up on Japanese confectionery and snacks, before we start boarding in about 30 minutes.

Zhao still has his wallet and reports no items lost, and Stoney still has the mascot (although I can hear a few of the boys conspiring to kidnap Leo at the 11th hour).

Schedule remains unchanged, and depending upon how long it takes us to clear Customs, we should be home about 10am tomorrow.

Boys are all looking forward to their own beds, thick and juicy steaks, and not living in a room that smells like a cross between three-day-old socks and roadkill.

My late night blogs have resulted in some inaccuracies, that I need to clarify now :-

# Josh Blackey is the ex-Otago skipper, not an ex-Aussie 7s player
# The staff whupped the 14s by 4 - 1, not 3 - 1 (I missed the last try as I was receiving CPR after scoring the 3rd)
# It was not the physio who put a stop to the Firsts vs Staff game - apparently the Firsts saw the form in the first game and asked Craigy to excuse the staff.

For the last time - sayonnara!!
