Hiroshima

The city world known for the Atomic bombing. My friend Tina and I caught the 6 hour train trip to Hiroshima only to be met by heavy rain. Drenced, tired and after two hours of walking around looking for our organised accomadation, we finally resorted to a good book, video and sleep. Fortunately we were able to take up the opportunity of a free guided tour of the Peace Memorial Park the next day.
