Our hotel was only 300 metres from train station and included breakfast.
We headed out to the Peace park, going to walk it but as it was a little warm and our plans took us a fair clip, we ended to the station after breakfast and caught the trolley car.
Friday night we went for pizza at a craft beer pub and watched some baseball on TV. Later we saw a manhole cover in the street, this was the local team called Carp and they were playing Fukuoka, our next port of call.
This is the bomb site, building has been left as a reminder of what war can do.
The peace clock representing the bomb, it strikes every morning at 8.45am, we were there just ten minutes after.
The peace bell, every one is invited to ding it if they wish, it has a very low deep sound
The actual memorial with lots of paper cranes in glass boxes
The eternal flame.
For all the population and crowds, it's very quiet,no one speaks loud, no loud noises, it's very serene.
