We took another included excursion in Hiroshima. Of course the most important tourist area is the Memorial Peace Park. We toured the park but there was no chance to go into the museum. The line for tickets was at least 2 hours long. The building in this photo is the A-Bomb Dome. It was damaged when the bomb dropped. But it was decided to leave it in the damaged condition as a reminder. There was also a memorial which included the names of all those killed. But besides the building notice the line of people waiting just to buy tickets to the museum. And it was raining.
So after we saw what we wanted we walked on our own to the shopping Arcade. It was huge and covered. So we shopped. There was a fabric store. So we found 2 more meters of interesting fabric. Dragons anyone? We also bought several packages of candy. We just don’t typically buy candy but this was most interesting.
In the evening Viking once again had a local dance troupe provide entertainment. The dance was called Kagura. We have had local dance from most of the Southeast Asian countries. Some have been in the evening at the theater and others on shore as we were departing. Fun!
