Today I think it was my best day I had here.

For other people it might be boring.

But I was really impressed by the old buildings.

The morning startet in the hotel in Kyoto where I spent 2 nights.

It was right in front of the imperial palace, which you see down here.

I started with the bullet-train Shinkansen to Hiroshima. And half the way

between Kyoto and Hiroshima you can find the Himeji-Station.

It is a small poor town. I saw some workless and homeless people here.

But it has the biggest and most impressiv and most beautifull castle in Japan.

It was big as European castles are. And very impressev on the mountain.

Many rooms and too many details I cant show you in one e-mail.

The pictures are speaking their own language.

After that I took the Shinkansen to Hiroshima.

Took the tram to the south. Took the ferry to Miyajima-Island to see the sundset at abaout 17 / 18.00 h.

And I was right in time. It was the most beautifull sunset.

And the background was really good to celebrate my last lonely night with a cherry-tobacco-pipe.

After that I drove to my guesthouse in Hiroshima, which you will see on my next e-mail.

Take care.
