Greetings from rainy Narita, Japan!
A lot's happened since my last post, but I don't have much Internet time, so here are the highlights...
After Brittany, I got two trains to Cognac (took ALL DAY!). I did a private tour of Hennessy and the lesser-known Otard, which is housed in an ancient castle that was once the home of French king Francois I. Both tours were fantastic and after six cognacs, I thought pretty much everything else in the quaint town was fantastic.
After returning to London on the Eurostar, I went to the British Museum on Friday and I think it might be the best museum I've ever visited. It has such a wide variety of stuff. My favourites included their extensive Egyptian collection, medieval Europe collection and their "Enlightenment" section, which comprises a bunch of kooky gear collected by various nutjobs in the 19th century.
Two minutes left...
I visited the temples of Narita yesterday and now I`m off to Tokyo on the train. Hello capsule hotel!

Back at the sports ranch... Alex Brosque broke Novocastrian hearts when he found the back of the net to give SFC a 1-0 win at the SFS.
