The Osaka aquarium is massive and very impressive. The centre piece is the massive tank in the middle with two large whale sharks and which is also full of other sharks such as hammerheads.

Tontonburi is know as the chefs/kitchen area. Here you can buy everything needed for a japanese restaurant.
It is also full of actual restaurants and other oddities such as more exotic places. It has what is known as Osaka's best Ramen restaurant (the one with the long counter in the photos below) - and Yes, the Ramen was very good.
Here it is also possible to eat specialties such as the Puffa fish.
It was also one of the few places where I saw real Samurai swords for sale.

This year we decided to travel to Rarotonga in Cook Islands. Some of the
immediate family booked at the same time so that we
had some days together.

In the evenings we were eating out. Every restaurant was facing the lagoon.
Also cocktails were cheap, strong and flowing...

Other times were spent playing games - Dark, Snooker Fuzball, building cairns and chasing crabs.

The beautiful lagoon surrounds the island, so much of the time was spent in the water.

Nara is an area a couple of hours outside Kyoto that is full of temples and deer roaming the streets.
It has a massive temple with one of the pillars with a hole in it. Apparently if you can squeeze through then you are enlightened.
The deers are good fun although Kim and and boys took a while to get used to them.
