It's a 'chicken & egg' scenario with regards to booking a cruise and then flights isn't it? Should I have done it the other way around? Dunno! But i'm pretty sick of the stupidly exorbitant cost of flights being charged these days, especially when you leave it a bit late like i've done for Japan. But anyway it's all done and we are off on 14th June to Tokyo. I think it's a pretty good time to visit, especially for the summer visitors, but I have to check it out as i'm planning to do this next year starting the cruise on 16th May. That may be a better time for seabirds (maybe) but we will see....
Anyway, i'm currently in Riyadh ahead of our Saudi Arabia trip that starts tomorrow. There's negative news on Arabian Lark in that there haven't been any sightings for 2.5 months due to extremely wet weather creating ideal AL habitat for hundreds & hundreds of miles in every direction. So the signs aren't promising but we will try.... And I can get back to posting about birds & birdwatching again....!
