Start of the trip: Barcelona - London - Tokyo

Day 1
London – Tokyo

Fist stop is Tokyo, mix of technology, future world architecture, traditions and contrasts!
We are still in Barcelona though, checking up for our flight and calling my mother in law to say good buy. She is telling us that Real Madrid has lost 4-0 in the match with a “nobody knows team from the 2nd B Spanish league” - Alcorcón). My God! This is nice news before taking a flight indeed :-D

We arrive to the HUGE London Heathrow Terminal 5 and now need to wait for 2 hours to take the flight to Tokyo. How to spend this precious time? Looking for wireless internet, of course, we need to see what happened with Madrid! :-D Juli has asked BA girl in the airport if she knows any coffee shop with free wireless internet and she gave him a good tip – go to the BA lounge entrance, from there it’s possible to connect to the BA network and have good connection. Of course we followed the advice! Juli ended up standing outside the lounge, close to the escalator, giving advices to other people who were wondering how he got free net :-D

So we took the flight, 13 hours flying, eating and drinking everything we can (the Japanese stewardess is still in shock because of Juli’s requests: “I want beer, tomato juice and a diet coke”, he was telling, and the woman was asking: “ are you sure your stomach can handle?” :-D

Expenses control:
In the airport 8€ (a bottle of water and a sandwich)
