Nagasaki - Monday
A picturesque city of less than half a million, its harbour ringed by mountains, Nagasaki is a sleepy town with a good tram system, friendly people and clean streets. The ship docked right in town only a block from a tram stop. A 500 yen day pass took us everywhere - up to the Peace Park and the A Bomb explosion site and museum, up the hills to shrines, temples and beautiful panoramic views and into the middle of the shopping district.We found the A Bomb site and museum to be a bit repetitive after Hiroshima and it didn't affect us as emotionally. Doesn't that show how we become imune if we get used to attrocities? Frightening.
The ship was in port from 7 am to 6 pm - more than enough time to explore.
