I was initially a little concerned about how K will take to take off and landing cos she's still too young to know how to yawn to equalise the pressure in her ears. I was afraid she'd be one of those babies that cry non-stop from take off till landing and the other passengers on the plane might hate us, especially since we took the red eye flight and many of them are probably catching up on sleep. K was an absolute darling and didn't seem to feel any discomfort when I tried to feed her during those crucial moments. The challenging thing that I encountered was timing. The plane was forever on the tarmac, taxiing into the runway. Landing was even trickier. The descent was gradual and took like half an hour. How to feed her continuously for half an hour?
Our first stop was Nikko, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quaint little town full of ancient temples and shrines.
Overall, the trip was good, other than K falling in during one leg-- at Hakone. We only got to see the hotel room for 2 days (and nights) straight. Didn't manage to see Mt Fuji, do shopping and stuff. Oh well. At least we managed to enjoy the Onsen at the hotel.
Tokyo was as always bustling. We gorged ourselves practically everyday. J, C and E and their parents were in Tokyo at the same time to catch the Hanami so we hung out a couple of days. That was really fun, especially cos they love Japan so much, they brought us to some really cool places.
Anyway, to cut the long story short, here are some photos of the trip:
