We woke up in good health at the spa in Okayama. We discussed the plans for our trip and decided to go to the sea. On the way to the sea, we dropped into a convenience store and had breakfast.
The way to the sea was very crowded, so we changed the route and used the highway. We arrived at Sami Bathing Place before noon. We had looked at the place on the map. It was summer the season of the sea! We went to the beach with excitement. But the beach was almost deserted to our surprise. Besides, most of the people there were parents and their children or couples. Two men on the summer beach…..the lonely wind was blowing… Pulling ourselves together, we jumped in the sea and swam furiously with the floats. After that, we shot at each other with water pistols which we had bought in Kumamoto, and took a walk on the seashore. About an hour later, we felt hungry and ate yakisoba at the seaside cottage. Then, we left the beach.
Hiroshima was our next goal. On the way, we were in trouble. The brakes of our car did not work! I thought it was dangerous. I stopped the car in the parking space and took a rest. Though the brakes began to work again, I drove very carefully.
We arrived at Hiroshima on August 15. Yes, it was the anniversary of the end of World War Ⅱ. We visited the Atomic Bomb Dome. It was smaller than I had expected. But there was a strange stillness ar
ound it. We prayed from the bottom of our hearts.Then we dropped to the former Hiroshima Civic Stadium. We had dinner at a eating house in the shopping mall.
At the night we stayed at the Net café again. The café was great. The room where we stayed was very large. It seemed that five men could sleep there and I had a best night’s rest in this trip.
Well at last, we would go back to Kumamoto tomorrow.
