passing through Kyoto and Hiroshima on the way. That trip segment took almost 4 hours. After 15 minutes to find the right track, the second train took us from Hakata to Nagasaki in 2 hours. We took a tram for 100 Yen to our hotel. After checking in, we walked through part of China Town. Later, we found a covered retail area, the Spectacles Bridge, and 2 shrines. The Spectacles Bridge is an old double arch bridge, built in 1634 by a Zen Buddhist priest. We returned to the retail area and selected a Japanese restaurant for dinner. I had a beer and a sliced beef set, which included miso soup, a lettuce and tomato salad, a spinach mystery, thinly sliced spicy beef, green beans and carrots, rice and green tea. Walked back to the hotel and settled in for the night.
