We finally stumbled across this tiny little Italian restaurant down a little side street. I had the most delicious pasta meal there. I liked the restaurant so much, that I took a photo of the outside of the restaurant and thought it deserved a mention in my blog!
After lunch, we decided to explore the old shrines and temples in Nagasaki. One of the highlights was seeing the Spectacles Bridge.
This was a really cool-looking bridge. When you take a photo of it on a fine day when the river is still, the bridge looks like a pair of spectacles. It was a really old bridge, built in the 1600’s and is still erected to this day.
The shrines and temples were great to see.
They were all beautiful and amazing to look at and explore. One of my favourite places to see was this ancient cemetery which contained many old, moss-covered grave stones that had so much character and authenticity about them.
It was so peaceful walking around, looking at all the grave yards. Some of them looked kinda scary, but they were all very interesting.
One of the shrines had a massive couldron which was used to feed porriage to 5000 people after the bomb had exploded on Nagasaki because there were so many people dying of starvation and thirst.
