Festival

Well it proves to be extremely difficult in this sleepy town to find a hotel right now...because once a year (you've guessed it...now) there is a major religious festival : Kunchi Matsuri and loads of folk from all over the country who are doing the 'matsuri trail' will flock down here as of tomorrow for this festival in which a mikoshi , a palanquin, will be carried around by strappy young Japanese on their shoulders through the streets of Nagasaki. Pictures will be provided later..!!
Had a nice day yesterday reading Mishima at the Dejima Wharf in the sun and drinking a beer.
Dinner with Kim, Rob and Pim at an Okonomiyaki (Japanese omelet with mayonaise) restaurant. It was tiny, just for 8 people but very good food indeed.
