The flight was long, but JAL proved to be a fantastic airline. The blinds were down to lull us all into the feeling that it really was night time - therefore bed time, but unlike the rest of the passengers, Charlotte and Alexa were too excited to sleep, so the order of the night was Scrabble, Charlotte's puzzle book, visits out to the only unshuttered port hole to look out at the never ending snow covered wastes of Siberia - and a trip to the cock-pit.

At last we arrived in Osaka and were met by Yumi, Fushika and Ikuko, who along with their collegues looked after us all like royalty for the rest of the week. We were the first to arrive, and had settled in and were having our evening meal when Mr Walker and party from Sixth Avenue arrived.

Our first meeting with "One for the Web" Rich too.

The Aussies arrived even later, so the first time all the children got to meet each other was at breakfast the next morning.
