We took a couple of days off and drove down to Hiroshima. We visited the peace park and museum. It was a gloomy, rainy afternoon, which was quite fitting for the things we saw. The museum is done very nicely with the focus on peace, but you can't help but be disturbed by the stories, photos and artifacts. I am glad we did this one first and spent the next day on Miyajima Island. There is a famous shrine with the floating tori gate, but the unspoilt beauty of nature is the highlight here. We climbed several kilometers straight up Mt. Misen. It was beatiful. There are deer and monkeys roaming about freely. The whole experience was fantastic. I'll include some photos for your viewing pleasure!
