Osaka seemed much busier, more crowded and noisier than Tokyo, everywhere has been rammed. The weather was good so we visited Osaka castle on Saturday then the Botanical Gardens on Sunday and then aRead more

Rainy on Wednesday but we managed to walk around the bamboo forest and just about avoided having our eyes poked out by one of the thousands of umbrellas, rain or shine they love a brolly.

We arrived in Kyoto on the Bullet Train, 280 miles in 2hrs 15, very smooth although it was 5 minutes late departing and 10 minutes late on arrival, but still better than trains in the UK.

Bula!
A few days relaxing in a place we never thought we'd visit. It didn't rain but was very hot and very humid, (it even messed with Ken's hair and he hasn't got much 😀), so not easy to lookRead more

We spent our last few days in the North Island wandering round Auckland, the Viaduct Harbour is pretty impressive with some enormous private yachts moored up.

Traveler Do they still bungee off the Skytower? Fancy having to saw your house in half to get it to a new location. How on earth do they stick it back together?! What a fantastic time you’ve had in NZ xx
Traveler Yes they still chuck themselves off the top of the tower, we saw a couple of them. One of the houses was chopped into four, moved two bits one night, two the next, down those teeny tiny winding roads, until you've driven down them you don't understand how mad it is 😲, sticking them back together is the easy part!
