The Journey - NZ to Kobe


A week ago we were at the airport trying to solve our over weight problems before leaving for Japan!!

We did indeed get our problem resolved, in the end not having to pay o/weight charges! A miracle really as we were about 14kgs overweight!

Our flight was great, even managed to sleep for 6 hours! On arrival we encountered an entry problem, again resolved, after 20mins.

We had a group of KUC (Kobe Union Church) church family members waiting for us and one of the Japanese girls helped us with translation for collecting our air freight and 'The Cat!'...4 hours later, after what seemed a mountain of paper work, with very friendly Japanese staff and going back and forth to a number of offices at the airport.... we cleared our cargo and Poppy!

Needless to say our 'new friends of KUC' had had a good amount of quality time catching up!

Kobe is only 45mins from Osaka airport. Lunch together was next on our agenda before arriving at 'The Manse' - our new home on Rokko Island in Kobe.
