Wednesday 5th November
Well - this is it … our last full day. Those 3 weeks have just flown by …. We’ve been to lots of new places and seen some new things and now it’s time to say goodbye to this magnificent country …..
Our last full day was going to be spent wandering round a few Temples and Shrines in the area. We seem to have done a lot of castles this time but not many Shrines.
There is the Futabanosato hiking trail round Hiroshima that connects 16 Shrines and Temples…. Noooo - we are not doing all 16, that’s a 10km hike …. And we have things to do today …. Like get all my tea in the suitcases 😳
We only did a couple of them, but it was a decent walk round and it’s a very hot day.
We then spent the afternoon packing …. I hate packing …. And trying to get my various packages and teas in out suitcases. Looks like it’s going to be OK - it all fits in (bit of a squeeze) but I never had a doubt 🧐.
So now just relaxing and discussing tomorrow’s schedule. The flight is at 23:15 on Thursday night, so we have a day (ish) to kill. We have to be out of the house by 11am, so we are thinking of stopping at Kobe on the way to the airport.
Looking back - this has been a fabulous holiday and pretty much everything we did this time was new. I love Hiroshima especially as it’s not as busy or crowded as Tokyo or Kyoto…. It has an amazing history and they are using that history to try and make the world a better place.
We have loved every minute and will definitely be back.
Sad times now - but fabulous memories. Hiroshima you have my heart ❤️
So for now またね mata ne ……. see you soon 🥰🫶🎌🇯🇵
