tour to Shikoku (6)

[金刀比羅宮～瀬戸大橋～岡山～東京]

After lunch our bus ran to 琴平町　in Kagawa.
We arrived there around two o'clock.
What a hot day!

I was wondering if I could go up 785 steps
to the main building of 金刀比羅宮---in that summer heat.

But something in myself urged me to go up to 本殿.
Yes, I would, I said to myself.

And I did it in that summer heat.
I'd like to say "Thank you!" to everybody.











When I was crossing the 瀬戸大橋, I saw a beautiful rainbow.



We reached 岡山駅 a little after 5 o'clock in the evening.

We took the Nozomi Superexpress to Tokyo.

I came back to my apartment around midnight.

I really enjoyed my tour to Shikoku so much.

[土佐・龍馬であい博～祖谷・かずら橋～大歩危]

What a long day!

I saw Kouchi City out of my bus window and arrived
at the place where 土佐・龍馬であい博　was held.

No photos were allowed there except two photo spots.





I was very scared of crossing the bridge かずら橋.
But I tried and crossed the bridge. Boy, was I scared!









M-san and I had lunch at a restaurant at 大歩危.

[桂浜]

Our bus was running to Kouchi City.

Oh, I was looking forward to seeing 桂浜.

Taking a walk on the beach 桂浜 has been one of
my cherished dreams.

At last I came to 桂浜！
At last I walked along 桂浜!











We reached our hotel around 6:00 in the evening.

tour to Shikoku (3)

[ from 内子～宇和島～四万十川]

Many of the group members looked sleepy
Actually many people were sleeping.

I never sleep when I am travelling by bus, by train or by plane.

I was enjoying the scenery of Shikoku out of my bus window.







The 四万十川　was a deep and clear river.
We got on a roofed boat,　屋形船, and enjoyed going down and up
the river. 　We had lunch on 屋形船.

Do you know 沈下橋 ? It is a bridge with no parapets 欄干.
