Nagasaki
P5164097 Panorama We spent a day and a bit in Nagasaki. The first afternoon and evening we walked around the port area - seen on the part of the panorama above, and had a dinner in a Chinese(!) part of town. The whole next day we walked and used the streetcars to see a lot of what you see above: Ground Zero to the left of the picture on the opposite side; then the Mount Inasa Lookout from which the panorama was taken, then Kofukuji Temple and Spectacle Bridge which are on the other side of the first hill above and then the Glover Gardens which are off the panorama to the right. It was a long day! --> We spent a day and a bit in Nagasaki.
