Loople

One of the consequences of staying up late is that getting out of bed gets to be a bit harder. I therefore decided to change my original plan a bit for today. Natsumi advised me to take the loople line, a bus that stops at all the interesting places. I was a bit hesitant at first but i decided to go for it. Since Natsumi pointed out the best attractions i figured it was a good way to check out the best things Sendai had to offer without having to sit in the bus all day. I visited a shrine and mausoleum from the Date clan, the founders of modern day Sendai. The remains of Sendai castle weren't that spectacular but offered a great view over the city. Unfortunately the botanical garden was closed so i figure i have to go back another day. The sun was really beating down so i got myself a couple of cold ones and cooled down and chilled with the German travellers again. Natsumi was also there and although her English was not that good we managed to have a great talk throug google translate and had quite some laughs with the dodgy translations sometimes. She told me she started studying English since yesterday. :-) Later in the evening Eric from Norway arrived at the hostel and he joined the party. We both had plans on visiting Matsushima together the next day and so we decided to go there together. But not after having more brewskis and fun obviously. Sendai just kept getting better and better!Meer informatie
