Kobe
Well, I posted a few pics of the bus tour to my fb, if you're interested. I would talk more on that, but between the heat and my feet hurting so badly, everything is something of a blur to me. I'm not even certain that I captioned all the pics correctly.
There's apparently not much to do in Kobe besides go shopping. I'm actually fine with that. My sunburn isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but my feet are still swollen. The swelling and the sweating has the straps cutting into my skin. Nice. The rashes are manageable. So today I am totally taking it easy.
This hotel has a much better air conditioning system, thank the gods. So I'm finding it nice to just chill here to recuperate. I did head out for lunch and found another cool (that is, air conditioned) mall to eat in. McDonalds! Whose surprised? I might go back for some early Christmas shopping. I did find something for someone already. Price is not too bad actually.
There's a city loop bus where you can buy an all day pass and get on and off at will. It seems to pass by sights like Chinatown, a shrine or two, museums and what not. I think that's how I will spend my day tomorrow.
Hubby will play hooky one afternoon this week. We will take the train to Osaka and visit the castle there. And there's apparently a pretty cool Aquarium. Initially I wasn't very interested, but there's a brochure in the hotel that practically amounts to a catalog. And it looks very cool. If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll go take the train there on my own. Need to get my feet feeling better first.
