Okayama Weekend

A while ago we had a long weekend, so we went to the nearby city of Okayama, which we discovered was much cooler than Fukuyama. We stumbled across a taiko performance at the castle, walked through the beautiful Korakuen Garden, and found a cafe that does cafe latte as good as a flat white at home. (Although that is hard to know for sure - I'm pretty sure my taste buds have lowered their standards since I've been here.) Anyway, here are some photos:





You may notice some Aussie prick's made his way into the taiko group:
























We watched this little boy walk past the turtle, unaware. When he saw it he screamed like a little boy, and ran to get his Mum and little brother.




He really screamed. I wish I'd got a video of it.




Suddenly feeling brave, he got in a few pokes...




Before the turtle escaped.





See this is why I don't give Simon the camera.




What a guy!
