I have only had WiFi in the hotel lobby and crouching over the PC is difficult. On Wednesday we took the Shinkansen - bullet train to Hiroshima. It is fantastic One and half hours and about 350 km and so smooth. The business men in their suits with their takeaway meals in white plastic bags are omnipresent The take away are a lot better than Macdonalds. Incidentally Japanese coffee is excellent. From Hiroshima we caught a ferry to Miyajima island and Itsukushima Shrine. The island is over run with deer but the shrine is nice. Still too poor a connection to try loading photos so be patient.
Waiting for the Shinkansen to glide into place on the platform.

ReplyDeleteI missed that you had added the photos to this post. Hope you are enjoying the trip, even with poor internet and deer trying to muscle in on your wheelchair!
