TUE-29-DEC-2015 Day 10 in Osaka

TUE-29-DEC-2015 Day 10 in Osaka


Did not wake up early.  Took it easy.  Ate big buffet breakfast again.  At 9:00AM it was packed, lots of people on vacation.  Full Japanese breakfast as well as everything we would consider for dinner as well as eggs.  Here are just a few pictures




























Took the JR train to Nara, it was the capital of Japan for a long time

We went to the Museum and saw original artifacts dating back to 1,000 BC

We saw a lot of wild deer



2016 is the year of the monkey


Look at this innovative sink in the Museum.  Move your hand in the center and warm water comes out.  Move hands to the left, soap comes out.  Move it to the middle and rinse hands.  Move to the right and warm air comes out.



Ate at a Chinese restaurant.  Had dessert at a cafe on the way back to the bus.  Four of us split this.  Bananas.  Choc and vanilla ice-cream.  Hot fudge.  Whipped cream.  Yes, it was yummy.




Took 3:17PM train for a 55 minute ride back to Osaka.  Sat in Executive Lounge and watched the sun set.  We will to the top of this building tomorrow.













We were tired of Japanese and Chinese food, so we ate Indian.  It was very good.  It was across the street in -2F (two floors below street level).

Off to bed, it is 8:00PM, busy day tomorrow.
