Monday’s my day off, so today went off to Beppu. There are some fantastic things there, like red hot spring pools and mud geysers – pretty cool stuff! Then off to the new Aquarium in Oita, there were some pretty funky things there as well, including a “Wani Kame”, which looks for all the world like a meter long dinosaur! Mind you to say this place was supposed to be educational, the English on the signs and stuff was just terrible, and more often than not just wrong!

But it is true, Japanese people do wonder round aquariums saying “Oh, I bet that tastes lovely!!”.

Then back home in the pouring rain!
