Last of Japan, first of Hong Kong...

We travelled south from Osaka on the bullet trains at about 200mph (fantastic trains) to a dedicated art island, Naoshima, staying in a typical little Japanese house and visiting by bike all the art galleries and installations on the island. We moved south to another island, Miyajima, famous for its floating shrine and feral deer who chew handbags if they get the chance. Miyajima is across the water from Hiroshima and so we visited the museum there - a second visit for me but as powerful as it was the first time. That was the last of our time in Japan - we're now in Hong Kong where it's hot with 85% humidity -phew- We've been in action from the start, taking Felicity to school and dancing. Tomorrow swimming, gymnastics and Japanese style shichida class. Hong Kong is full of exotic flowers and bird song. Abundant numbers of tree sparrows chattering and nest building. I think we've a busy couple of weeks here - I know I'm on swimming duty tomorrow :)
