Having moved nearer to the port, our journey to the international ferry terminal didn’t take long at all. Reflecting on the micropig experience, I felt very overwhelmed with sadness, it wasn’t the right thing to do. I really shouldn’t have done it it, but it was a learning experience and I won’t ever be tempted …

An Unexpected Day…
We didn’t have firm plans today but as the day evolved it became one of our favourite ones! Although that said, relfecting bck at the end of the day from most of our days, they have all felt pretty amazing! We startednthe day eating mitarashi dango, we haven’t had many of them on this trip, …
What did we do today????
So, due to some technical difficulties, I couldn’t finish my post from yesterday. I wanted to say what a great bar it was, how friendly it was and what great music they played. Very chilled and relaxing. We met a lovely Chinese man, and spent most of the evening chatting to him. It was his …
Another Day…Another City
Leaving Nagasaki behind but not before another great breakfast. A strange combination but it worked for me! Mochi, Creme Brulee, Croissants, Ooolang iced tea, what’s not to love! Very much filled our boots before the stage of our trip. Last night as I waled back from shopping, there was a political rally, quite a large …
A Day In Nagasaki
When planning the holiday, I thought by this point a hotel stay would be a good restorative idea, as well as a self-guided walk. Doing things at out own pace, seemed to be a more relaxed way of doing things. The historical walk would cover the history of foreigners influence in Nagasaki, which as I …
Next stop Nagasaki
Packed up and ready to go onto our next leg of our holiday, stopping to say goodbye to the friendly bar we had spent a lovely evening in. We confidently headed to the train station, living in Sheffield has helped us to navigate tram systems! The Hiroshima three day card was well worth the ten …
Oh dear/Oh deer
It’s difficult to know where to start with today. It is with some reluctance. Today, we went to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in the Peace Park. We walked through the park,passing various memorials, including the children’s one. We bought headphones that provided an added layer, personal stories behind the photographs and artefacts. Harrowing.The museum …
Hello Japan/Hi Hiroshima
Had a lovely last night in Seoul, laziness taking over, we went to the Vegan Kitchen,which didn’t disappoint. A huge salad, with nuts, avocado, etc. A real taste explosion! Pete was taken hostage by a giant gorilla that transported us there! They seem to have a kind of Japanese equivalent to Ryanair, called Jeju, only …
A Bit of Everything..
Having found the bus terminal yesterday, we walked with confidence and ease to the trip meeting point. We spotted ‘Joe’ our guide, who very quickly told us where to go in heavily accented English. He rushed off the gather the others on the trip. We had found it, we were on time, we got on …
Don’t use Google Maps!
Well, after the frivolity of the night before, we slept until 11.30am, something unheard of. The room has blackout blinds, and so it felt very disorientating waking up. I seem to have caused confusion with celebrating my 60th, very much tongue in cheek comment, based on Korean tradition. We decided to have a quieter day, …
