After sleeping on and off for one extra hour we woke up officially at 5:32 AM, I do believe the sound of distant alarms playing anime music; McKenzie's idea!
We later went on to get washed, read and watch Monet being trapped in a cupboard by Oliver Bennett. At 6:30 everyone started to pour into the cafeteria for breakfast. We than had bank and got in a taxi to go to the train station.
After a three hour train ride we visited the A-bomb dome, the last surviving building which was bombed at the end of the war. a moving site with a powerful meaning. It was currently undergoing an inspection, so scaffolding was surrounding it. We also visited the shrine with names of all the deceased inside.
We visited the shrine dedicated to one of the child victims of the nuclear bombing. Oliver Bennett donated a crane.
We then went on a boat going to Miyajima island or the deer island - the clue's in the name. Miyajima island was great! We saw the famous water shrine and many free roaming deer, one of which stole my Hiroshima information booklet; after this we headed back to the station for tea. Then we headed home.
