Today was walk then train, train, bus, bus, hotel. We travelled to Takamatsu today. This was my lunch to have on the train.

When we got to Takamatsu we boarded a bus and drove and hour and a half to the Awagami Washi paper factory. This is a family business making washi paper by hand. We all made some paper, the staff were very helpful and lovely people, got some great paper to make some handmade journals with – yum. Not many photos today, I wasn’t near a window to take them and had wet hands while at the factory,

Most of today was spent travelling and tonight for dinner we had udon noodles, which this city is famous for making.

A lovely little old man stopped me in the street outside the washi paper factory and asked where I was from, I told him New Zealand and he said he had been there many many years ago.

The hotel we are staying at is the JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu, it is very nice, I have to say the accommodation has been superb so far.
