Sightseeing in Hiroshima and meeting first Host Families

A picture of our first Hotel breakfast - traditional Japanese style.

Met our first host families at a magnificant hotel in Hiroshima. Jill went to the Kazari Museum and the Shukkeien Gardens. Bec went to watch the baseball - Hiroshima Carps playing final memorial match at the Hiroshima stadium - Carps won!

Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Steven, Fiona and I hung out with Furusawa-san (our wonderful guide) and then went to onsen (traditional hot baths) for the first time.

Steven attempted to enter the nude area wearing board shorts and was rejected - told to get his kit off and then come back. Meanwhile, Fiona and I experienced onsen with only very small towels which were more useful as hankerchiefs.
