What a day in Kagoshima - we arrived at 7am with the shuttle bus scheduled to run at 8am - continuously until 1:50pm. Well we ended up in a line for 45 minutes - apparently there was a break between the 9:30 am bus and the next one - so we lined up for a 10 o'clock bus that left at 10:20. We were dropped off at another city centre mall around 11 am - with the last bus returning to the ship at 1:50 pm.
In our now routine way - we wandered the mall until we located a coffee shop - where we stopped to enjoy a cappuccino. While the coffee was nothing like we thought - we still had a great time. From here we carried on throughout the market, which spanned a couple of city blocks - until we found ourselves in a bakery that offered an "eat-in" lunch.
We shared a shrimp toast, bacon and mushroom mini pizza and a slice of ham and cheese pizza - with a shared chocolate croissant for desert.
We headed back to the 7-eleven - the bus stop to catch the 12:30 bus back to the ship. After stocking up on some potato chips at the store - we returned to the ship, dumped our stuff and headed to a coffee place, with just enough time before the ship was scheduled to leave.
Have you ever argued about how much time you have and lost? That was me today - so our coffee adventure was a power walk both ways and we were both pleased to be back to the ship in plenty of time. Of course when you rush to do something like that - things go awry - while we were back in time the ship failed to leave for an additional 3 hours. Those three hours might have meant we could have seen something more meaningful - if we'd had them available at the start of the day!!
We spent this afternoon enjoying our potato chips and working to drink our well stocked bar - Gin gone, and one sparkling wine too! Only 28 days to go....
