D2nt How Do You Set What It Says

October 14: [Hong Kong] Tsim Sha Tsui, Lantau, Chek Lap Kok, [Tokyo] Narita airport, Saitama

(Today 32 photos ...)

The minibus that takes us back to the airport, how sad ...

HK is really hard to leave ...

that we do not take pictures, wherever possible, to the windows of the van, as if trying to capture again and again that the views appear to us always new, always interesting and never predictable ...

Taxis, for example, are all equal and the same as Japanese even though a different color: red Toyota Corwn Comfort with gray roof ...

The tower blocks are getting smaller as we move on Lantau ...

Of gigantic suspension bridges linking the island to the city ...

Eccone un altro...

L'aeroporto di Chek Lap Kok è enorme, costruito una decina di anni fa dal nulla su un'isola artificiale...

E' il paradiso degli appassionati di aeronautica, come me...

Alcuni incontri sono davvero incredibili, quando ho visto questo A-380, la prima volta che ne vedevo uno vero da così vicino, mi sono quasi commosso, per fortuna Shiho era nei negozi di lusso a vedere le borse e non mi ha visto...

In questo aeroporto sono pronti ad accogliere qualsiasi, but just any plane!

One of the two boarding piers endless remote terminal that can be reached by train, underground ...

Here's our plane, one that will take us back to Tokyo is a Boeing 777-367 (B-brands HNP) of Cathay Pacific. Nothing to say, the flight attendants were 80% Japanese, and impeccable service and nothing "suspicious" and lack of courtesy to foreign customers ...

And we're back in Japan, a new immigration procedure (my collection of entry stamps in Japan continues) with fingerprints and photos (I found that the crews, including pilots, must perform the same procedures as passengers, and be subject to biometric checks: amazing things!

This thing hit me: before the customs there was a feast to fill out forms and there was a box of glasses of different shades that can be used by passengers free of charge ...

The journey home was heavy, we took the Musashino line meeting the human tide that had just emerged from the Tokyo Disney: Shiho's father luckily he remembered us and made us find these wonderful eki-ben ...

are very rare (the bowl is earthen) and are proud of the eki-ben ...

Enjoy and goodnight!
