Hiroshima Day 2

It was much cooler outside today and our first rainy day of the trip. After breakfast, we decided it would be a day of embracing japanese culture. So we took a bus to Hiroshima outlet shopping mall 🤔 It was located on the outskirts of the city and was about 35 minutes by bus.

It was one of those sprawling outdoor malls with heaps of brand names. We both bought ourselves presents, and now to work out how to fit them in our bags 😄 We shared some karaage and rice for lunch before heading back on the bus with all the pensioners.

As it was raining, we took the opportunity to do some clothes washing - aah, the glamour of travelling 😉

In the evening, we had a few drinks at the hotel rooftop bar and then went out to a Saizeriya restaurant for dinner - those ¥400 carafes of wine are quite alluring. Unfortunately, there are no robot waiters at this restaurant. We did sit next to the most annoying and loud japanese men - I think they were yakuza!

Back to the hotel rooftop bar for a night cap. We chatted with a lovely French lady, Anais, who was visiting with friends.

A bit more of a chilled day!Les mer
