Riding with my parents on the Shinkansen is rather embarrassing. I told them not to talk, they do it anyways and don't recognize the stares of death. That they spilled coffee around just is the icing on top πŸ™„

Today first time my parents actually managed to do stuff on their own. Since they rarely get out of the room before 11 I left around 9, enjoyed an early breakfast in Chinatown, had a nice lunch at a new Vegan restaurant and then did hike up the mountain. Now slowly going back 😎

My mother found the feet massage machine in the hotel and now screams in pain but won't stop πŸ€­πŸ™ˆ

They are trying to use everything they can find, it's amusing and worrying at the same time.

This really is a pretty castle! I am impressed and even though I have been here 2019 it still amazes me.

We left the train station and are walking to the castle now. Showed my parents the nice manhole covers a d now they stop for each of them what have I done? 😬

Today being a full blown tourist we visited Itsukushima near Hiroshima. No fun with all these tourists. But after walking 2km+ nobody is around and this is the view...

Sorry for not updating anything for the last few days, I will try to retrospectively Update now...

We have been in Matsue, Izumo and now in Takehara, tonight going to Hiroshima. Currently I am enjoying Kotatsu with a nice view of the small Japanese garden in the courtyard. Will take a bath afterwards πŸ™‚

After leaving Yonago we visited friends who own a soy brewery and afterwards to Kiomyzu temple where we will have a bath, dinner and stay overnight. A very pleasing day...
The traditionally Vegan Temple kitchen tonight is something I am looking forward to πŸ˜‹

This morning we were in Sakaiminato, Yonago and explored the street that is themed after the anime character Kitaro ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeGeGe_no_Kitar%C5%8D )

It's amazing with mazybe a hundred statues along the street. After that we ate some Osenbe and now enjoy the Japanese garden Yuushien.

Cutting the Tokyo trip short, we had 3 hours but left after 1 1/2 due to rain. Will relax a bit in the Airport.
