We woke up really late for us, at 7:30am. The plan was to head to Arashiyama early, but we ended up taking the 9:30 train to Osaka station. (To Book Train Travel in Japan Click Here)From here we were supposed to take the rapid 29 minute train to Kyoto, but all the trains were running 6-10 minutes late. Finally it said that our train was next, and then it never showed up! This was really weird. Japan is certainly not […]

June 3, 2019 by hollyGS

On our first full day in Northern Ireland we decided to book a tour in order to see a lot of sites around Northern Ireland.

The bus was late, so we waited around for quite awhile, and despite the fact that we were the first ones there waiting, we were the last too climb onboard […]
