Fukuoka

A day of walking around Fukuoka. The breakfast place in the on-line guide was not yet open, so on to the harbour, and finally found a place with coffee. We had not eaten since JAL to Tokyo, so almost anything would do...as long as it had wi-fi, coffee, tea and etc etc
Then we walked through most of Fukuoka. It was sunny and quite warm (although November) but not crowded. We went to the fishmarket (for Philipp) when we saw the signs, on to a park and the site of an enormous old castle, across a lake, through more parts of the city, a subway trip and back for a very late lunch in a tiny bar/restaurant right next to the hotel. We ordered by pointing at pictures as we were yet to master Google Translate, then had to swap meals once they came, resulting in us both thinking it was fantastic, and extraordinarily cheap. More roaming afterwards - pachenko, backstreets, 7-11s, Lawsons, fish shops, supermarkets, parks. The app said 26,498 steps, or 18.9km for the day, and we climbed a mere 13 flights.. Not that we are competitive, but we did check the totals every dayRead more
