March 26 Osaka to Kobe

I wasn’t feeling that great yet, so I stayed in the hotel room.

Tom wanted to see more of Osaka than just our hotel room. He visited The Osaka Castle (pic 1), just look at the stairs he climbed (pic 2). Picture 3 is a close up of a dolphin that decorates the castle with Osaka in the background.

Picture 4 is out our hotel window is a park/shopping center. Land is at a minimum so they use it however they can.

Then it was time to head to Kobe, we took a couple trains to get to the ship terminal.

Japan is amazing with their rail system, we were able to get all the way to the ship without taking a cab.

Here's a few observation about Tokyo:

When people walk, they just walk. No smoking, eating or drinking, just walking. I found a place that had black tea and because it was "to go" they put tape over the mouth opening. There are special smoking areas on the street corners, unfortunately, usually by the maps.

There are very few public seating areas. We didn't see anyone eating outside.
