Eru búnir að vera í steikjandi hita, 36° C, og miklum raka í dag.

Ferðast með lestinni milli staða, farið í sendiráðið til að ná í pappíra, í leiðangur til að ná í nýjar loftsíur, en hinar voru búnar að gera sitt verk. Einnig vantaði bremsuborða hjá Einari að aftan.

Minni á viðtalið við Sverri í morgun á ruv.is. Einnig hægt að nálgast það á bloggsíðunni hans Sverris,    

They got in touch today when under the Tokyo Tower.

On the way to Tokyo they took the highway and then drove around the city until they got a cab driver to guide them to Tokyo Tower. He drove ahead and when they got there he refused any payment. Tokyo is indescribable.

They've gotten in touch with Antonio who's offered to let them borrow an apartment for a few days. They're there now after about a 90 minute drive.

Tomorrow they'll start the paperwork for transporting the motorcycles to Alaska and there are a few spare parts that they'll look in to getting as well.

The motorcycle club they've gotten in touch with is called Cajun, which means foreigner or outsider, and it's members are foreigners in Japan (hence the name). They've planned to ride with them over the weekend and hopefully it'll be yet another adventure.

Finally they've arrived in Japan. They have the motorcycles already, about a day ahead of their estimation. It's a special feeling riding Japanese motorcycles, having ridden from Iceland all the way to Japan on them.

It's been a short day today, only around 30km/18mi on the left side of the road. There was a minor detour but they recovered quickly. All the signs are in Japanese, of course, and not very easy to understand. Also the people don't really speak any English so communication is complicated.

There were a lot of Drive-In hotels on the way, something they considered to take advantage of the first night. However they soon realised that the hotels were for prostitutes and their clients. The room might have been inexpensive but the service costs extra.

Today's leader found a luxury hotel where they decided to spend the night instead.

The plan for the next few days is to go to Tokyo and be there before Thursday, They'll need to go to the embassy to get papers and get information about the flights to Alaska. A motorcycle club in Tokyo has been in touch, Cayjun, and they might meet some of it's members.

It's about 25°C/77F and a humid mist in Japan, the time difference between Iceland and Japan is 9 hours.

Yesterday they had spent 7 weeks on the trip and around 6 weeks left.

It feels good to be on the go again. The ferry they're on is a bit smaller than Smyril line (the boat they went on from Iceland to the Faeroe Islands and then to Norway). It's comfortable and they slept well the first night. As they've got every meal provided for them during the trip they feel like they don't do anything other than eat. You have to be at your table at a predetermined mealtime, otherwise you'll go without as there's nowhere else to go.
