We are all home safe. Thanks so much for all your messages checking in with us beautiful Insta family 🙏😘. We managed to catch a 10pm flight out of Tokyo before all flights were cancelled. It was a bumpy flight but we are so thankful to be back in Aus. All our love and thoughts are with everyone in Japan with the devastation from Typhoon Hagibis 😥. It's such an amazing country with the most gorgeous people and we loved every moment of our time here. We have loads more to share with you from our adventure and a blog to come too, stay tuned👍😘 ...and Japan, we will be back 🇯🇵😍.

Soaking up the culture, one 'Tori Gate' at a time ⛩⛩😍😍. This is our favorite place in Japan so far 👉 swipe to see more. We took our time to walk up the mountain through these beautiful gates which have all been donated and feature an inscription on the back. Dedicated to a Rice God, Fushimi Inari-taisha dates back to 711 A.D 😯 which just blows our minds!! When you make it further up the hill away from all the crowds the magic really begins with incense, offerings and mini tori gates, you can't help but relax and be taken away by the tranquility 🤗. Our Mini Blondies loved exploring through all the mini shrines and kept an eye out for cheeky monkeys and wild boars that live in these hills. Kyoto is a beautiful part of Japan and a place we will definitely return to ~ we have been based at @mimaruhotels which has been awesome for us, especially its big bath which the kids love at the end of a big day exploring 🛀👌🤗. #mimaruhotels

Getting our 'Kimono' on, in Kyoto baby 🙌👘. Experiencing a day in these traditional Japanese threads was a fun and steamy experience. With under layers, top layers and a rib crushing obi sash 🎀 we definitely felt the part, but not before slipping on a pair of slippery toe socks and a pair of 'plank of wood' flip flop thongie things 🤭👌... We Clipperty-Clopped ourselves along the old streets and imagined what it would be like to wear this every day. We even immersed ourselves further into the culture by taking part in a traditional Macha tea ceremony 🍵. It was all loads of fun but oh so hot under all that material and we were happy to get changed back into our Blondie clothes before we climbed the hill to visit KIyomizu-dera temple ⛩🙏. We are sharing loads more of our adventures in our Insta stories if you want to see more 🤳😉🤗.

JAPAN, amazing by day and incredible by night ⛩😍. We are having an awesome time discovering all we can about this gorgeous country. From temples, shrines, food and the friendly locals ~ It's a fantastic destination for families. We've had some huge days exploring and fabulous foodie experiences all capped off each day by a few mysterious drinks with labels we can't read 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️ see our stories for more about that!! 😍😳🙌. We've been using trains, cabs and our feet to get around and our @mimaruhotels has been the perfect base for our daily adventures 😁👍.

"Expecto Patronum" 🥢⚡
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is THE BEST! No photos could capture all the fun we had exploring this magical world at @universal_studios_japan, so we mashed up this quick clip instead 👌! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner kid shine through, and boy did we get into it, even us big kids! It's definitely an experience we will not forget! 😍🙌

Konnichiwa 👋! All the way from JAPAN - the land of Sushi, Karaoke and all things colourful and crazy 🍣 🎤🤪! We are so excited to be here for 2 glorious weeks and have started our trip with a bang by having a ball at @universal_studios_japan! We have been eating salty caramel banana popcorn with Minions, flying high with Snoopy and his crew and don't get us started on Harry Potter 😍!! The moment you step into this wizarding world you feel like you are in the movie! We've tasted butter beer, cast spells and even picked out our favourite broom stick 🍻🥢🧹👌 (see our stories 😉 )!! We can't wait to share more of our trip with you... have you been to Japan? We'd love to hear your tips, must see places, favourite foods etc? Arigatōgozimashita (thank you 🙏☺️). #tripadvisor #USJ #universalstudiosjapan #sponsored

Fire time with our mini wildlings 🔥👌. When we told the kids we were 'going bush' to cook a campfire, their little eyes lit up like it was Christmas 😍😍. There's nothing like snuggling up around the 'bush telly', telling stories and cooking dinner 👌, we love that we can do this and everyone sleeps better for it too. With all that fresh air, sticks, stones, dirt and the occasional kangaroo skipping past we can't think of a better way to spend time with our tribe 🙌.
We think dinner always tastes better cooked over the fire ~ what do you think? 🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙

Discovering the wonders of this world ...one coconut crab at a time 🙌🦀. Our little crab obsessed Z-man was so amazed and enthralled to finally see this unique crab up close ~ to witness this was a magical moment in itself but we have to admit all our Blondie tribe were just as impressed ...It's like living in your own wildlife documentary 😂🙌. These guys are actually hermit crabs and they start their life floating out at sea, they then find a snail shell to live in. When they out grow the shells they ditch them and toughen up their body by growing more calcium based layers, this then gives them the freedom to grow HUGE!! ...Up to the size of a small dog in fact! They can grow up to 9 pounds/4 kg and 3 feet/90 cm long 😱!! They do eat coconuts but also other fruit & plant materials as well as decaying animals, RATS and even their own discarded body parts!!! They are native to islands in the Indian and Southern Pacific oceans... we met this little guy in New Caledonia. How A-mazing hey?!... Mother Nature you're one clever gal 🌏🌞👌. Have you seen a Coconut Crab up close?
