Day 241 2016: And so...

Day 241: ...it is time to go

And so like all good things, holidays do approach an end date. And mine is looming quickly. It is back on a plane tomorrow and before I know it, I'll be back in the office and back at work (typhoons, apparently, permitting). For you, dear reader, that means it is back to the room with a view for the most part, and the inner workings of the ports of Tokyo Bay. 

But before that...

Last day on the Gold Coast meant a bit of shopping (special requests from Japanese colleagues, for TimTams) and lunch near the water. And that was nice. 

And so, it was only right that before we return to Tokyo Bay, I took a last look, for now, of the Nerang River, near mum's house and where one gets a good sense of much of the Gold Coast; the skyline, the water, the trees...

It's been a nice little interlude for the blog. And now, we return to Tokyo to discover more of the new, the old and the now familiar. How quickly the time does and will go.
