Another day in Hiroshima. Today we got the train to Miyajima-guchi and then the ferry to miyajima island. The weather was great all day until we were leaving and it rained - good job we got there early!
The island is amazing - deers are everywhere and very tame - you just need to watch your food as they eat anything. We got a few good comedy moments on camera.
The shirne and the torri gate in the sea is awsome. Very tranquil which probably explains penaut's quietness today.
Decided to take the rope way to the top of the mountain - not such a great idea for Dee who has never travelled by cable car! Let's just say the view and the monkeys were worth it - better on the way down.
Apparently nobody is allowed to give birth or die on the island so good news there then re the cable car and a v good job peanut didn't decide to arrive 4 months early!
Off to Okonomi-mura village in a bit for tea for some more of those delicious pancakes - and perhaps a beer or two!
Up early as we are travelling to Osaka where we are staying for 5 nights. Daytrips inlcude Himeji and Kyoto as well as meeting up with one of Dee's parents old students who came to learn English and stayed at their house.
Seriously don't want our holiday to end...!

No one allowed to give birth or die?!?!
How exactly do they enforce that one then...? Don't tell me, dying on the island is punishable by, er, death...

How you guys coping with the language?
