Grab and Go Tokyo

Because the flight was delayed and I arrived early morning instead of night before it was just a very quick in and out of Tokyo. Managed to get my last set of Ramen + close my phone. Then head back to the airport. This was by far my fastest Tokyo trip so far. Land 6 am and lift off 6 pm. Wonder when will be back here next time....?

Coming back from Narita at 6 am heading to Shibuya. Lots of tired people on the train going to work, including me but I'm jus sipping coffee

Last meal in Tokyo, Spicy Miso ramen in Shibuya. This place was really nice! I'll be back for more some day 

 At least Kaj was happy in the plane. First time flying with both kids

Escape to Sydney

After a lot of hassling and calling the flight company I made it out of Chile! Was a looong 14 hour flight from Santiago but was really happy when I arrived. Managed to get a little sleep on the plane. Was Saturday noon when I arrived so went out to meet some friends for a BBQ. So nice to meet people after being alone 5 days!

Bye bye Chile! At least the sunset was beautiful when leaving

So nice to be able to walk in streets with people and shops open and no protests 

Tap House is a FINE brewery bar in Surrey Hills 

 Looks like someone home

 Time for some Rugby Semi finals 

 So Sydney style

Not a bad place to wait for a meeting at 

COOGEE!  Spent a fantastic 30th birthday on this beach

Great BBQ party on this balcony and with a view! 

 The First Class Lounge by Quantas offers a gooood breakfast with Champagne

Beaches and protests in La Serena

After finally getting down to La Serena after a cancelled flight everything was very quiet. There were basically no open restaurants in La Serena and not a single shop either. The whole 3 nights I was there used the same clothes because my baggage was still in Santiago. Army mode on !

La Serena was a beautiful resort city with long sandy beaches, a place where locals come for a vacation or weekend get-away. All the protests had left the city dead quiet, exploring streets when nothing was open a different kind of experience.

Flying out of Santiago was met with a lot of mountains 

First day was nice and sunny! Walked up to the northern part of the beach with an old lighthouse 

La Serena I'm here! 

Some protesters set something on fire not very far from my hotel 

View from hotel room was niiiice

Second day was a bit cloudy but I still managed to slightly burn my nose. Had no idea the UV would be so strong. Then again, even if I had wanted to buy sunscreen there wouldn't have been any because everything closed. Took a taxe pretty much to where the rays come down at Coquimbo city. 

 Iglesis de San Pedro. Lating churches look a lot different than Europe 

Memorial outside 

Very inviting supermarket open for fruit sales. One of the very few I found open...

Pretty funky design on their stadium

Top of the hill! 

Colourful houses and nice views 

Jesus was watching over this city 

 Walking on the beach. Tons of birds and carcasses found. 

Gigant sea lion on the beach washed up...ugh 

Pelicans! 

Oldschool! Like grease lightning 

Meni pelikaani turbiinista läpi 

 Saviche salmon 

Went for a walk a bit north of the city to see if I could find any shops. Nope, all barred and closed 

Walls had been build around the malls 

Not sure when I had this much beard before 

Last day I was leaving the protesters came in by hundreds on bikes, cars were jammed on the road. Luckily the way to the airport wasn't blocked in any way.
