Asleep at 285kmph

Greetings from Tokyo.

No post yesterday as we didn't get to Tokyo until late last night.

A long day yesterday started with a visit to the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. We then headed 45 minutes South of Hiroshima to the small island of Miyajima which has a famous Torii gate (below) in the sea which appears to float at high tide.
The town is full of deer (below) which are totally tame and on the lookout for your lunch. We then took a cable car to the highest peak of Miyajima. At the top the deer are replaced by monkeys (below), which are even more interested in your lunch.

The day ended with a 5 hour Shinkansen journey to Tokyo. Got lost in the Park Hyatt building tyring to find the reception. The view from the room made up for it though.

Exploring Tokyo for the next few days.
