Day 8 travel to Hiroshima

Posted on

Today we said goodbye to Kyoto and hello to Hiroshima. We rode the shinkansen (bullet train) from Kyoto to Kobe and then switched trains and rode the shinkansen from Kobe to Hiroshima. All trains were about 20 minutes late because someone was walking along the tracks. By the time our train arrived at Hiroshima the weather changed and it started raining. Lucky for us our hotel is adjacent to the station. We only had a short walk and we were there.

Corey and I are both tired and really just wanted a break from site seeing. Since it’s raining it seems to be the perfect time for it. Once we got to the hotel we ate some pre-made bento lunches that we bought earlier. Mine was a chicken and rice, and Corey’s was a tonkatsu and rice. We ate and rested and walked around the station a little. We found a mister doughnuts and decided to try some. Unfortunately they didn’t last long enough for me to take a picture. They were yummy. Tomorrow we have a planned day trip to Fukuyama where we plan to meet up with some of Corey’s friends from his mission. It Should be fun.
