Heading home

We left the ship this morning at Kobe and headed for Osaka to visit a castle and temple. We have seen many of these on our travels and they are all very different!!

The bridge is at Sumiyoshi Taisha, a Shinto shrine. It has been a steaming hot day, the warmest so far.

The trip ended at Kensai Airport, a very spanking new place. We are waiting for a flight to Hong Kong and then have a couple of hours wait for the connection to Heathrow.

I’m way behind on my blips, lack of WiFi!!! But will aim to back blip when I get the pictures off my big camera.

It has been a fascinating trip and I’m so impressed with the cleanliness, organisation and friendliness of the people.

PS now sitting in Taipei Airport. Weren’t expecting that until the pilot told us. We have been fed once, hope they don’t offer us anything else. Should be just a short flight to Hong Kong!!!
