We had a fantastic day on the island, seeing the famous                             Leaving Miyajima Island was a reversal back to
                             floating torii gate, walking around the Itsukushima                                 Hiroshima Station, to then catch the Shinkansen to
                             Shrine and enjoying an ice cream on the picturesque                                 Shin-Osaka which was our next destination on this trip.
                             beach promenade – there were even loads of little deer,                             The distance from Hiroshima to Shin-Osaka is about
                             like there were in Nara, just walking around.                                       174 miles taking 1 hour 15 minutes travelling at times to
                                                                                                                 185 mph. To put it in perspective this is the equivalent
                                                                                                                 in the UK by train travelling from Edinburgh (Waverley)
                                                                                                                 to Manchester, which is 175 miles – but takes 3 hours
                                                                                                                 11 minutes!
                                                                                                                 Also, this day we had walked just over 7.3 miles.




















       We had great fun on the
       promenade and even
       found time to grab an
       ice cream and stand
       watching the wild deer.

                                                                                           enjoy some Japanese
                                                                                           food, this time it was
                                                                                           Okonomiyaki in Osaka.
