Disaster! I think I've deleted all my recent posts! So I'll do a 'last of Japan and first of Hong Kong' and we'll start again from there!!

We travelled south from Osaka on the bullet train at a speed of 200mph to an art island called Naoshima where we stayed in a very typical little Japanese house and visited all the art galleries and installations by bike. From there we moved south to another island called Miyajima, famous for its floating shrine and feral deer who'll steal your handbag given the chance. Miyajima is across the water from Hiroshima, we went to the Hiroshima museum, a second visit for me but just as powerful as the first. Isaac loved the sea at Miyajima. Now in Hong Kong which is very hot with 85% humidity we hit the ground running - school pick up the dancing class yesterday, tomorrow swimming, gymnastics ad Japanese style shichida class - I'll be doing the swimming class with Felicity :) It's been great to see them all - very happy, very settled.
