Tokyo day 1&2 – Utrecht – Brussels – Rome – Tokyo

Utrecht – Brussels – Rome – Tokyo seems quite a trip, and I must say, it's quite exhausting. We started out by getting a cab at 5:30 in order to get the train at 6:02. We cannot really rely on the Dutch railways, but although every train was delayed, we arrived in Antwerp at 8:00, so we got out and had some breakfast there before taking the train to Brussel Airport where we had to catch a 12:00 flight to Rome. The first flight wasn't the best I ever had, but there was free beer on board and it arrived on time, so not a big deal. We rushed through Rome's Fiumicino airport to make the transfer to find out the flight to Tokyo had a little delay (it turned out to be an hour when we landed). So, hungry as we were, we bought a sandwich, which unfortunately turned out to be as old as the Colliseum itself.
