Ok, ok, I realise I have let some of you down by not updating the blog over the last few days, but truly you can't believe the schedule that we have undertaken. We have been from Hiroshima and Miyajima to Izushi and Kinosaki in northern Hyogo, then to Kyoto, Nara, and Mie Prefecture in just a few days. There was certainly something to be said for having a home base rather than having to pack up your suitcase each morning!! I will upload some photos soon, but rest assured that we are all ok, we have finished all scheduled activities, and are now headed for our final hotel in Osaka tonight. Sadly we said farewell to Team Member, Clare, this morning as she has now headed up to Shizuoka. Team Member, Tony, also left us just after lunch in Nara to continue on his journey. It feels very strange after two such wonderful weeks together that the time has come for people to start going their separate ways. Of our group of 15 eight team members will remain in Japan for varying lengths of time and with their own schedules. Seven of us will depart Japan tomorrow with amazing memories, wonderful new friends, and I suspect several extra kilos of both luggage and body weight!! This picture does not do it any justice, but as the tour draws to a close, we have just witnessed the most amazing full rainbow from the windows of the bus. Honestly, the colours were absolutely incredible and it really looked like you could see the full arc touching the ground at either end. What a wonderful feeling and a really apt image for our tour group.
