A bit of a lazy start to the day considering we didn't have time to do much today in Osaka and it was drizzling, so we had breakfast about 9 and wandered back upstairs to pack and check out by 10. Then we got on the subway with our huge looking bags headed for Shin-Osaka station. Third time lucky finding the right counter to hand over our exchange order for the JR Pass. Didn't have time to book seats so there was a big crowd (including a fair few tourists) that were lined up near carriages 1-3 that are free for all seats! Luckily we got to sit next to each other still!
The train was really comfy and the 90 minutes went by pretty quickly.. Too bad an old lady was sitting in the window seat or I would have tried to get some photos. :)
Made it to Hiroshima station by 12.30pm and it was still drizzling outside but we were able to get a map and walked down the street a bit and found our hotel (after asking a nice lady where to go, found out we were 1 street up). The hotel was closer than we thought!
Check in opens at 3pm so we left our bags with the hotel and walked back near the station and found a nice restaurant to eat at. Success again in translating the menu and ordering what we wanted! Yes there were pics but I was able to get what Ben wanted without the meal and ordered a soba instead of an udon.
Had a squiz at some shops in the station and found orange kit-kats and I think green tea pokki! I saw some green tea kit kats while briskly walking through Shin-Osaka station but had no time to get them, I'm sure they're everywhere though!! ; D I love how much stuff they have in their shops and it's all so cute and neatly packaged and there are samples in the gift boxes of food to buy!! I just want to buy everything haha
Came back to the hotel, still a bit early but a sat down with a few other people waiting for check-in.
Accidentally made Ben's coffee a bit strong while waiting in the lobby haha Check out how small their milk things are for the coffee - maybe they don't really bother with milk??
Checked in and got cards for room 1002 on level 10. Check out the view from the elevator!
Have an even smaller room then Osaka but it has a nice view and is very close to the station!
Doesn't Benny look kawai (cute) in his robes? :D
