LAST DAY IN OSAKA AND HOME THE NEXT DAY

Our hotel was very well placed to allow us to get around Osaka very easily using the metro system and the travel card.  Breakfast was included and they catered for the western visitor with recognizable food.  Just one choice that got a bit boring but welcome all the same.  For our last day we walked around downtown Osaka.  Just outside the hotel was a car park with a novel way of ensuring that the car will not be stolen.  There are many makes and models in japan we don't have in Canada, mainly small in stature.

The shopping areas in Osaka shout one word "BUY". One of the main centres runs along a canal, there are many canals. It is all hustle and bustle.

Lovely roof gardens

The mall had many restaurants and they all present their menu with very realistic looking food models

This little lass was enjoying some craft in the mall.  Colours are dropped onto a water surface

Then a card is lowered onto the surface and voila!

Next day we took the train back to Kansai Airport and caught an Asiana flight to Seoul, South Korea

In Seoul we connected with Air Canada - a 4 star airline - flight to Vancouver in the new Boeing 788 Dreamliner.  We finally reached home to Comox after an active but fascinating time away.
