It's raining again...
Unser heutiger Ausflug auf den Misen-Berg wäre beinahe ins Wasser gefallen. In der Nacht auf heute begann es heftig zu regnen und die Schauer hielten bis am Nachmittag an. Eine Wanderung auf den Berg schien aussichtslos, denn die Wasserfestigkeit der Regenbekleidung wurde schon bei einem kurzen Spaziergang durch das Städtchen auf die Probe gestellt. So machten wir es uns zunächst im Hotel gemütlich, badeten, lasen, dösten… Als der Himmel dann irgendwann ...
Hello from 'wide island'

Well, after lunch, the stage was set for unconscionable misery. Navigating Hiroshima is easy ...

We are now back on the Shinkansen train on our way back to Tokyo, we got on the right train today so no problems with the ticket ...
