Friday, 11 August 2017: Kyoto - Hiroshima / Miyajima
Rosa and I are relaxing in our Hiroshima hotel after a day that got off to an exciting start on our 7.20am bullet train from Kyoto - it's a big holiday weekend here in Japan and the tour company hadn't been able to reserve seats for us beyond Osaka which meant we were all spread out in different carriages when we left Kyoto, and then half the group got off our train at Osaka to try and find unreserved seats and couldn't get back on again!
Luckily Charlea was with them, and they all got on the next train to Hiroshima, with was only 30 mins later. They got seats; we'd stood, squashed like sardines! Another stroke of luck was that the family of four who are on the tour were split between the two trains / groups and were texting, so we all sort of knew what was going on.
Once we'd rendezvoused in Hiroshima (広島市), we dropped off our bags at the hotel and headed off to the nearby island of Miyajima (宮島) for the day. It's famous for the Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社) with its wooden walkways that stretch out over the waters of the bay (when the tide is in at least) and its red/orange wooden Tori gate a little further out in the bay. Really beautiful. We took lots of photos.
After some BBQ street food for lunch (corn of the cob on a stick for me, takiyaki (octopus balls) for Rosa), we went DIY for a couple of hours: Rosa explored the souvenir shops and Julia and I headed up into the hills in search of the "Buddhas with knitted hats" that Charlea had mentioned lined the way to another temple. We bumped into Skylee, Granted and Andrew, and the five of us soon found the first of many Buddhas of all shapes and sizes. The outside stone ones all have knitted hats, and some even have scarves.
We ended up spending an hour or so there exploring the beautiful Daishō-in (大聖院) temple complex - lovely wooden halls, pathways through green glades, prayer wheels, peace and quiet, in a valley stretching up into the wooded hills above the Itsukushima Shrine.
One of the highlights of the trip for me, Although it's a sad story behind the hats and scarves.
We all met up at the ferry pier at 3pm, took the ferry / train / tram back into Hiroshima and then on to the Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念公園) in the late afternoon. A good time to visit.
Dinner was Okonomiyaki pancakes again, this time Hiroshima style and cooked on a hot plate in front of us, in a tiny place, one of many on the 4th floor of a city centre building. All a bit ramshackle and market stall-like, fab food, lots of fun - and a very welcome cold beer served in a glass from the freezer. NICE. Tram back to base, shower and chillax.
Off to Osaka first thing tomorrow (8.10am departure from the hotel, which is a luxurious late start compared to the past week!), for sight seeing, lunch and then the stage sword fighting workshop and a night in a capsule hotel.....
But now, bedtime!

After choosing Mudflap's car mode as my new Skids, I started by adding a new G1 styled head. I used the "ears" from Mudflap's original head, and the rest is totally sculpted in epoxy putty.
I also added the G1 cannons on each arm. These were kitbashed from a Star Wars model kit.
I airbrushed a blue base color and several layers of metallic blue on top of it, this gave him a really shiny look.
I thought that the original racing stripes from the G1 toy wouldn't look very good on this modern day car, so I used the stripes from the movie version of Skids (Chevy Beat), but with the G1 colors.
The car mode is totally clean and I gave the robot mode a little weathering, for a more movie look.
My latest furniture project is complete. The piece is my own design and made out of cherry held together by 60 mortise and tenon joints, 4 tongue and groove joints, and 13 biscuit-reinforced butt joints.
