Right, I don't thing this entry is about much, hence the lack of title. I'm back in Osaka now, but since I can't remember where the last update got to I'll have to check that before I can fill you in on what I've been doing. Then I'll tell you what I'm going to be doing.
Right, last entry was from Takamatsu which means I've got several days to catch up on. That I believe was posted on my first night in Takamatsu. I spent the subsequent day there primarily walking around various parks, including one on top of a large plateau nearby, and doing some reading.
After my second night there in Takamatsu I visited the garden that is the main sight of the city. It was another time I had planned to get there early but didn't in the end, but it proved to not be too busy anyway. So with the rest of that day I headed for Kochi, where I checked into a hotel before heading up to the castle.
After my one night there I headed off again for the long train journey to Matsuyama where I checked into a hotel for the next two nights. That night I didn't get a great deal done but did manage to get online (sorry, no update then) and get some accomodation booked ahead (which I'll tell you about later).
The next day I went up to the castle in the morning, and then spent the afternoon out at nearby Dogo, visiting a rather surreal temple and trying out the famous Onsen there. After this interesting experience I went back to my hotel for my second night there.
Yesterday morning I caught a train first to Okayama (AGAIN) and then via Shinkansen to Osaka. After dropping my bags off at the station I headed back out to Takarazuka which has a Manga Museum which proved vaguelly interesting, before coming back and spending the night here in Osaka.
Now we're back to this morning where the only thing I've done is to come here to get on-line. But after this I'm heading for Nara where I've booked a nights accomodation (told you I'd get back to it) and then from there I'll be heading to Kyoto where I have four nights. That will get me as far as the 15th when there is apparently a festival worth seeing in Kyoto so I'll try to hang around for that before heading north via Tokyo with the last couple of days of my rail pass.
