Travel to Tokyo Continued

Three minutes after my last post we heard an announcement that our flight to Canada was delayed by an hour. Oh travel gods, you are so funny. Despite the delay we didn't have any timing problems. The two flights had minor annoyances like turbulence into Tokyo that made all the meals they randomly decided were dinner and breakfast despite arriving at 5pm not sit well. But overall our air travel went smoothly. Navigating the airport took some energy and searching as we had to pick up a few things at various counters (pocket wifi, train passes, currency etc) and then began our introduction to the famed Japanese transit system. We managed to hop on the right line and an express train at that. However, the trains were warm and further upset our stomachs, making us extra ready to be at our hotel. So imagine our joy and excitement when the exit we chose at our station led directly outside to an immediate view of our hotel. It was raining and chilly, but was such a satisfying antidote for our overheating and nausea. But not for our exhaustion. I managed to make myself stay up until 9pm, but not a second later. I. passed. Out.
