From Suzuka, we hit the railroads... A somewhat short trip to Nagoya... Jose masters the art of sleeping anywhere, even standing... International Center for some maps...Of course, Nagoya castle...

Desperately hungry bunch... Soup time... See you in Tokyo, Carnalita!Nagoya at night...First night of sleeping like a bump, in internet cafe...Next morning, ready to continue our trip to Odawara and the Hakone checkpoint... Dec 29: Odawara, Hakone and arrival in Tokyo

Our December 29 was the stupid part of the trip... Basically we traveled 5 hours to Odawara, and pretended to visit Hakone checkpoint the same day, in winter and raining.. Baka!

First I realized I have lost my 18 Kippu, wanted to kill myself! But we continued trip... This timetables were our Bible... Jose, sleeping as usual... Many stations... Brazilians seem to be a plague in this area, hopefully not like Ecuadorians in Madrid...Train officer lady...Bump...Coastal town...Odawara!
We searched on purpose for the filthiest place to eat our cup noodle crap...Odawara castle, too short time to reach it... Hakone, already getting dark (5 PM, winter)... I realy like torii...Hakone checkpoint, too dark to see a shite :(Fancy hotel we can't afford...Back to Odawara, slightly tired...Yoshinoya, like mama's food!Finally arrived to Tokyo!!!
Magic cube in Shinjuku...Korean fella that gave us shelter, thanks pal!I finally understood the purpose of the Fellowship of the 18 Kippu!!!! To arrive in Tokyo, were Sauron lives... Mordor is in Shinjuku...
We deserved some rest... Next day, to hit the unfriendly Tokyo streets!
