Fourth and final

I've been on logistics again and prepared a plan last night that involves luggage storage so obscenely cheap I assume we'll never see it again. The accommodation we're now checking out from has been on the ropes when you think of the prior competition, but all told has been well located, comfortable, washing machine and free breakfast equipped, and offered significantly, significantly more floorspace than other options. This started as a luxury and ended a necessity - frankly, we'd have been needing to tunnel hoarder house corridors through the robots had we stayed anywhere else. I'm calling the win.

Our last day is a scorcher, so much so that the umbrella I was keen on the other day got picked up, as UV protection is all the rage here and we were up for anything. We can't fit anything else in our bags, so that was about the most restrained Don Quixote visit in it's history I'd wager. James got the Casio watch that had been on his mind too. Nice to scratch itches.

Shopping now firmly out of bounds, we headed over the Osaka Castle for a walk in as much shade as we could find. It was great, it was, I'll repeat, BLOODY hot. Chose lunch almost entirely by proximity, fatty tuna got crossed off the list. To scan the plates they held this sensor remote thing up to the stack, and it then 'printed' a receipt onto this blank plastic slate we took up to the register. Very cool you guys.Read more
