Train rides and treat night

It was time for us to pack our bags and head off to another city once again. This time our destination was Osaka. We'd booked an Air B&B room for this trip but unfortunately we were unable to check in until 3. Having checked out at 11 from our hostel and knowing it would take an hour to get to the new place we had some time to kill. We headed to the station and visited our favourite coffee shop, Starbucks. Having spent quite a lot of the morning there we then had a pretty satisfying noodle dish lunch to share before beginning our journey to Osaka. Nick had discovered that if we walked to another station about 1.5km away we could do the journey much cheaper and end up at the station right by where we are staying. 1.5km walk with a very heavy bag is quite tough though! Mine is proving to not be that comfy and I'm so close to just giving up and buying a suitcase but I'm trying to persevere! We even saw our first double decker train at the station when we arrived. We made it to Osaka and had a lot of trouble finding the building among a maze of streets that all look the same but eventually we did around 4pm. Upon opening the door to our room we were greeted by what can only be described as a war zone! The room hadn't been cleaned so we were initially wondering what we had signed up to but Nick contacted the guy who told us our room had changed to across the hall. It has all we need really with a mini kitchen, fridge and microwave so at least we can make of our own food to save money. We explored the area and found the local supermarket and decided that tonight we were going to buy a Google Play card to watch movies on our tablet and get snacks and treats. I had the Japanese version of a pasta ready meal and it was great; and only £2.10 to boot. Bargain! We had a pretty relaxed evening of watching Finding Dory and The Jungle Book before an early night ready for our first day tomorrow!Read more
