Olive Island OR Scam?
Another early start and we bid farewell to Hiroshima and hit the expressway to Shodoshima. The island of Shodoshima lies in the Seto Inland Sea and belongs to Shikoku Island and to reach it we had to ferry the car across the sea form the mainland (Honshu). A totally new experience for me as I think ferries are for people but my mother recounted that until she moved to Australia ferries were something cars went on as well as people ...
3 suns and one star...(well it felt like it)
... up some Katsu type bits (bread crumb covered veg and meat) and headed into the station for the train. This time rather than getting the local services we decided to get the Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka as it would be quicker and still cost us nothing as its a JR train service. We hopped on the Shinkansen and were back in Osaka in no time (about 30 minutes). We got off the train and had planned to go back to the hotel but decided we would look at ...

Once we actually got in the building, it was really dark ...
Day 13 - Part 2 - Kaiseki at Yumiharinooka
... her at the school yesterday. Luckily she had a free day, so she agreed to come down and meet us at the hotel and go to lunch with us. We didn't have to be in Himeji until 4pm at the earliest, so it worked out great for us (because we are staying at another Toyoko Inn business hotel, and they dont do check in until after 4pm to cater for business clients). While waiting for Tagawa Sensei to arrive, we were introduced ...
