O.k I have got to come clean and get this off my chest, for at least a week now I have been borrowing Sarah's strawberry lip balm, it's really windy here and my lips are really red and painful. We went for one last spa before checking out, at least I did. Sarah discovered that naked people in the spa wasn't as funny when it was happening to you as there were four naked ladies in her spa, I thought it sounded fine. I went in anyway and it just gets stranger and ...

Today I did not know what we were going to do, I ask the governor. She said we are going on the train to Oboke. Again we got our lunch from the supermarket, ham, mustard, crisps and chocolate (routine is good). We got on the train at Takamatsu bound for Tadotsu, the train was mental it was painted orange and was covered in cartoon characters even inside, also the greatest moment possibly of the whole trip as we were sat waiting for the train to pull away from t...

We then went to the station a fair walk from this hire place but the tourist information lady spoke good English, we wer...

Our last night in the four star hotel, a shame as this room was very nice, got showered and packed and checked out of the hotel. We got the train from Motomachi and changed at Akashi station and go on a huge train shaped like a plane to Okayama where we changed onto a local train to Takamatsu (I keep calling it Tiramasu, Sarah doesn't see the funny side) on the way to Tiramasu (see) we went through some alluring countryside it was open and green instead of buil...

We awoke at about nine o'clock the room was very hot but on the positive side all our washing was dry. We had a shower and headed to the station for a day on the train, we headed for Motomachi station, as we have Japanese rail pass's which can only be bought by foreigners outside of Japan we have to go to the side of the automatic barriers and flash our card to the guard, when we got to the station Sarah went first and the div showed the guard her passport open...
