Osaka ka ka kinki
Hi everyone, were in Osaka now. Weve changed the itinerary a bit, because we couldnt find the Ninja School we skipped that and went straight to Kyoto - saw a show about Japanese traditions like Geisha and odd music being played on panpipes and bagpipes...and some freaky shadow puppets (couldnt make any sense of it, probably wouldnt have if we spoke the language either!) - I spent the whole of the 2nd day there throwing up and Jenny had to look after me, i think it was a dodgy hot dog (yes were dining with proper japanese cuisine!)
Were spending 2 days in Osaka in the Hotel Kinki (stop laughing) and weve just come back from a massive aquarium thing that was spose to be shaped like a butterfly but looked more like a crushed ice cube. Tomorrow were going to Universal Studios which should be fun. then thursday it looks like were back on schedule going to Himeji-although we may miss the art museum as nobodys ever heard of it, same as the ninja school! Hiroshima, Miyajima, then all the way back to Tokyo and Sendai which should be a nice 7 hour trip on a bullet train (woot!) Now Jenny wants to type something so ill leave you with a few facts, we havent seen a SINGLE dodgy vending machine, the schoolgirls seem to walk about in uniform 24/7,and if you dont start leaving me some messages im not going to fill this in anymore, grrr. :)

Yay finally i get the keyboard! Im sooo glad to get out of Kyoto because the inn we stayed at for 2 nights smelled of straw mats. Ergh. The hotel we are staying in now is better, we have proper beds which will be better for chris`s back. Yes we do sleep on little thin sort of matress things on the floor when we stay in prpper Japanese inns, if we get western rooms then we get beds. Chris is much better now thankfully, i love him and everything but hearing him throw up all night was not good!!!!!!!! Cant wait for tomorow adn then we are going to see some proper sights like old castles and things. See ya all soon!!!
MWAH!
Jen and Chris
