Day 9 – Kobe

You could smell the delicious scents of grilling beef down every street we went near! But our first step wasn’t to follow our noses towards the food smells, […]

Day 11 – Travel Day 2, The Ryokan

Today was finally a day of relaxation! I mean it was a travel day, so there was obviously travel involved, but there were no massive walks, no mountains to climb, no scary adventures to be had. Nevertheless, I am still tired. I somehow don’t think that feeling is going away any time soon. So today […]

Day 9 & 10 – Universal Hiroshima

So, evidently, no entry yesterday. We practically haven’t had any down time since we’ve been here and it has finally caught up with me. I was gone the second my head hit the pillow last night… and honestly I’m fighting to sit here and write this tonight! So yesterday we had our big Universal Studios […]

Day 6 – Travel Day 1

Todays tally: 15,595 steps, 10.75km, 14 floors, 3 layers of clothing. This morning was our last morning in Kyoto, and to be honest I’m missing it already! We’ve only travelled a 30 minute train ride away to Osaka, but it feels like another country! The scenery is very different. Instead of temples sticking out in […]
