Ruminations from the Silver Muse.

[drron]

I am on the path down. Very few steps on the way down so that wheelchairs can get to the top.








The path. many bends.


Lots of persimmons around.

 

[drron]

a water race.




And in the bottom lake lots of Koi. This lot think they are going to get fed.

 

[drron]

This lot also thought they were going to get fed.





And you always have to visit the shop. Wasabi anyone.



Or noodles.


Nice flowers.



There is a public bus service but infrequent.

 

[drron]

A few views on the way back.

 

[drron]

Traffic was very congested so late back. Basically time to get ready for dinner. Atlantide again. Just pages with the changes.



The wines.







Mrsdrron had the scallops and her favourite the lamb chops.



I started with the Baltic cut of salmon and then the tomato soup.



I was going to have the filet of beef but the waiter said you can have that any night but the Chateaubriand might not be back for a while so I changed. I did say it should be Bleu. Close.


Then Mrsdrron had the pavlova and I asked for the cheese plate. It was not on the menu and found out that was not a mistake. You can ask for it but they will give you whatever they have in the kitchen.

The Muse overnighted in Osaka. On the second day the plan was to have a ride on this.

But being an easy day that was put off until after lunch. A late breakfast at the Arts Cafe.



Then lunch at the pool deck. Basically the same menu as in the past though I don't remember the Rotisserie option.





Mrsdrron had the caesar salad with chicken and I had the fishburger. both OK.



A different red wine with Mrsdrron having a Sav Blanc that she has had before.

 

[drron]

So on the Big wheel you do get some good views.

 

[drron]

School children on their way to the Aquarium.

 

[drron]

The ride continues.

 

[drron]

And you even get a look at the resident's washing.



The aquarium.


And the divine Mrsdrron.
.


Mrsdrron then went back to the ship and I went off to the Aquarium. Although their website says there is a discount for seniors none was available at the ticket office, but first more Japanese fun with English and the Muse from the Aquarium.

 

[drron]

The aquarium. It is quite good but crowded even though I went in at 1445 and the school groups had left. So here is a sample of what you see.

Feeding time for the whale sharks. They literally chase the fellow around the tank as he feeds them their tiny morsels.

[drron]

Even jelly fish.

Seal seen above your head.

The last of the aquarium.
