In our last morning we had breakfast in our room where I ate my last Japanese Avocado Toast - unfortunately it was just that a sliced Avocado on a piece of Toast. Unfortunately it was very unimaginative.

We were being picked by our car service for the trip to Narita Airport at 3pm and had time to go shopping. Cathy saw an Issey Miyake coat that she was interested in and we taxied to the Issey Miyake store in the Ginza and they didn't have it, but suggested another store a half hour taxi ride away might. We jumped into another taxi and went to the store. They had the coat but in the wrong size. It would be impossible to find the right size unfortunately. Surprisingly while there a saw a jacket that I liked and bought it.

After taxiing back to the hotel and gathering our luggage we awaited our driver. Narita is the farther of the two Tokyo Airports so about an hour later we arrived.

Cathy's back was bothering her and we had a long walk to the lounge. I saw an empty wheel chair and suggested she get in it. We were surprised and delighted to see it was a robot wheel chair. It was like a Tesla. You clicked on a computer screen where you want to go and off it takes you. It goes at a walking speed, so I could follow along. If someone steps in front of the chair it stops and lets them go, and then starts moving again. It never hit anyone! It is going to put a lot of wheel chair pushers at airports out of a job. It is a great idea.

We boarded our plane for the flight back. It was a successful trip in spite of worrying about Parsifal and the pain in Cathy's back that will hopefully remedied by her new doctor.
