Today we were up at 7:00 for a 7:30 breakfast. We had the choice of Japanese or Western style, most of us having the first western breakfast in almost a week now.
We left New Hiroden Hotel for Hiroshima station where we caught a train (about 20 minutes) to Miyajima Guchi.
A ten minute ferry ride and we were on Miyajima Island, most famous for the proposal to Mrs. Rankin.
Deer roamed freely around the island, with gates on the toilet doors to stop them getting in.
The cable car is a great way to see a birds eye view of the surrounding islands, but being an overcast day, we were unable to see all that was there.
At the top of Mt. Misen, monkeys stay, play and eat free. With many photo opportunities, for some people, the monkeys were a highlight for the day.
It took us about 45 minutes to hike our way down (thongs not a very good idea) the mountain.
Lunch was eaten, a few more photos taken and we were on the ferry back to the mainland.
We travelled into Hiroshima for dinner and had some free time to shop around.
Karaoke was a huge blast with everyone stepping up and having a go.
We were in bed early, ready for a day of excitement to follow.
