So we have had internet problems. A major component failed and they got it replaced last night so we are back in business.

Had fun in Kochi, it was a nice sunny day, This is a great port and everyone enjoyed their tours, the gardens and the Kochi Castle are the highlights. We have done both a few times before. So we just took the shuttle into town and there was a "Sunday Market" which was basically for children. They had a bouncing tent, all types of things for children and kids everywhere. It was delightful. Sister June purchased a few tee shirts and we had a fun time with the lady that owned the shop. She said "where from" we said Texas and she started to name Texas towns. We gave her a Geisha pin and she was thilled.

Just arrived in Shimizu and it is another spectacular day. Mount Fuji is in full view and we are about to depart on our scenic tour of Mount Fuji.
