We made our way to Hiroshima. It's been a heavy week and it was a very heavy day but we pushed through.
You certainly come away from Hiroshima...somber and very different. The amount of effort the US went to hide from the world the damage done at the time and many years after was terrible. While they were occupying Japan the US were making sure the media was very suppressed. One of the main reasons for the bombing was to show the Soviet Union what they were capable of. The US were very worried about the Soviet Union's plans for the East and West.<br />
<br />
After Hiroshima we made use of the local tram system and made our way to Miyajima ferry. All went smoothly which was great! The ferry trip is pretty short and the weather was nice. The haze is still around though.<br />
<br />
I don't really feel like typing that much today so I'll leave you with these photos of our trip.<br />
