re: Our day in KagoshimaBrenda Letain I appreciate learning more about the bombing on August 6. I had known it occurred on August 6 but I wasn't aware of the history behind it. Plus seeing those photos, wow. I'm sure your visit to Hiroshima will always be etched on your minds and hearts.

re: Two Days in TokyoGord goodridge Martin we are living vicariously through you and Janice ! Heather just wants to know how many new friends you made in Tokyo?? You would have a lot to choose from in a city of 37.4M people!! I did not know that it was that big or that it was the largest city in the world - keep up the geography lessons and maybe post an exam for us all when you get back!! Cheers Gord and Heather

re: Our day in KagoshimaCantary Beltin Of course, it is possible to reach the top hill of PAmukkale by following a slight inclination from the bottom. There is a garden. The view of this magnificent place as the evening sun sets is incredible, Turkish coffee is a much more enjoyable place in this breeze. Pamukale tour https://www.trturkeytours.com/ The second step is to find the Clpatran antique pool. To enter here, a separate museum ticket and money are paid. this place is very precious and the world The beauty of the Roman ruler, Cypriot beauty, who guided its history, is taken from this pool. This is a big pool and it's healing water and it is thought to be a source of both beauty and health. even around the ancient pool of clopatra surrounded by columns that are in every roman city However, after the earthquake and many disasters, some columns are broken in the pool.
