Our holiday to Japan

Hi everyone,
Finally Bryan & I have sorted through the million photo's of our trip to Japan. Noah has kindly allowed me to put some on his blog. Hope you enjoy them.

This is Himeji Castle located at Himeji between Osaka & Hiroshima

On the Island of Miyajima off the coast of Hiroshima. It was just gorgeous


Peace Park Hiroshima
Rubber duckie you're the one......Bryan having a spa bath in the biggest bathroom you've ever seen.


Toyota makes a car called Noah....can you believe it?????

The bright lights of Osaka......and boy were they bright

A steep climb up a hill took us to this beautiful lookout in the city of Takayama

High in the Japanese Alps

The scenery up in the Alps was just wonderful

The colour in the leaves was amazing. We just don't get that much colour in Australia

Our good friends Jim & Yoshi who we travelled with. Thank goodness Yoshi was with us. I think we'd still be trying to get out of Kansai Airport if we were alone lol

Look what we found in Matsumoto. This airedale toy cost more than the real thing hee hee

Matsumoto Castle

The view from our hotel room in Tokyo. The last day was so clear you could see Mt Fuji in the background

The Imperial Palace in Tokyo is in the background

Beautiful Tokyo. We got to meet Jazz & Dixie's mum & dad which was fantastic. Thanks for meeting up with us guys and remember next time you're in NSW come and stay with us!!!

We had a wonderful holiday. We really loved Japan and the people were so friendly and helpful. Hopefully we'll go back someday (when the stupid Aussie dollar improves lol)

Mom says Tokyo is very pretty, and full of TON of people. That is what she remembered most(She was a kid)
So, when do you get delivery of your new car Noah? hah

Your pictures are wonderful, they give a real taste of your visit.

I loved the one of the bath though, very funny!

Thanks for your comments on Marvin's new venture, I had been trying to find your blog link, as I lost all mine when I deleted so suddenly.

I will gradually get around to replacing them all.

I will be visiting Australia next year, I am so excited!

More another time,

love Jeannie xxxxx

Love and licks from Marvin to Noah and the Gang.
