Hiroshima Day 3.

Ergh, spent the day doing laundry and ironing, boring! How's your Sunday been? Here's some pics from our last day in Hiroshima. We took the ferry across to Miyajima which is a world heritage sight. It has a Torii gate that looks like it's floating at high tide and a shrine that does the same thing. And a pagoda, temples and a mountain. We got the cable car up but walked down. An hour and a half of continuous stairs really took its toll on my calves! They've only just recovered. A sign I need to do more exercise I feel.

Cute right? Yeh till they eat your map, shirt, bag....






Low tide





And of course the standard Kitty photo.

Right, I must off to get ready for a friends dinner party. We're having Takoyaki, an Osaka special of octopus balls...it's tastier than it sounds, promise!

Hiroshima Day 2.

On our second day we woke up a little later than planned (alcohol is bad.....) but still managed to get around the Peace Park, the Peace Museum (fantastic museum about the bomb with good history, facts and then the gruesome effects of the bomb). Then after some lunch we hopped on the train to the sake festival. Over 900 types to try....only I found out after my 5 cup or so I don't really like it, haha! So the boyfriend kept drinking and I managed to get him back to the hotel for a little nap before a really nice dinner at a Thai restaurant.


On the tram, such a reasonably priced way to get around town! Also my bag isn't actually that red in real life!


A-bomb dome during the day. This is the only structure left from when the bomb was dropped. It has been kept in the same condition it was in straight after the bombing as a reminder and memorial of such an horrific event in human history. I personally think it's an eerily beautiful memorial.

Peace memorial. The flame in the memorial won't be put out until the last nuclear weapon on earth is destroyed.



Drunk people!


Erm...this whole sake thing...not so nice apparently.


Sake and chickens...makes so much sense! Huh?


This was a window display in a drugstore...eye patches are very popular here...apparently stuffed dead animals agree...love Japan's random craziness.

Hiroshima Day 1.

We had a long weekend here in Japan so the boyfriend and I went to Hiroshima. It was my 3rd visit to this beautiful city but my boyfriends first so we did all the touristy things which are really good! Due to me working Saturday day and getting drunk Friday night, so didn't pack, we left a bit later than planned. Upon our arrival we went to check out the A-bomb dome at night, had Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki (different to here in Osaka) and then met up with some very very drunk friends of ours who'd been at an all day Sake festival. Much fin was had by all and we stumbled back to our little business hotel and passed out ready for sightseeing on Sunday.
