Day 5 - Least said soonest mended

 

Day 5 was not noteworthy. We were both somewhat jaded from the night in the frozen ryokan shared only with the beetles, and the travel to Hiroshima seemed endless. A long wait for our cases to arrive via the magic carpet service meant we didn't get out there and copped out with a shower, teppanyaki in the hotel and bed.  But, there's a nice picture of two Shinkansens for you (I'm more than a little bit hooked on these beauties. However, I have not got my handy Japan Rail folder near to be able to identify which series these are. They are not the Hikari SuperExpress, or the Sakura SuperExpress. But they are lovely and they are very very fast)

 The high spot of the day, once all the travelling and the suitcase dramas were over (and we had a WASH!) was the view from the Sheraton in Hiroshima - and I managed to catch the sun going down from the comfort of the club lounge. Stunning huh?
