Danielle and Dave's Travelogues. An account of Danielle's and Dave's experiences in foreign climes. 3 – Nagoya recital and a Living National Treasure. Today we took the first of our various shinkansen (bullet train) journeys. We went from Tokyo to Nagoya. Kumi had us well in order with tickets and where to go. At Nagoya, the hotel was a very short walk from the station – it was right on top of it. Charlotte was still feeling a little queasy so Kumi and I went back down to the entrance to the station wher...

12. Zoo Quest
http://danielleanddave.co.uk/new-zealand/12-zoo-quest
Danielle and Dave's Travelogues. An account of Danielle's and Dave's experiences in foreign climes. Sun, 14th Dec. As predicted for a change (the weather predictions here are usually rubbish), and in spite of being almost at the height of summer, the weather today was the worst of the whole trip. It was tipping down with rain and, worse still, cold. What made it more interesting was that there were some quite fun things to do for adults and not just for children. After a while our count of animals seen w...

Danielle and Dave's Travelogues. An account of Danielle's and Dave's experiences in foreign climes. 7 A Winner at Epsom. One school was not my favourite: I examined in a theatre and it was dark. All day in there was pretty depressing. Another school WAS my favourite because of the very high standards of the candidates. They also gave me school lunch! Such a thing has not happened elsewhere out here. However modest, it is a kind and welcome gesture. Dogs must be kept on leads’. The puzzling thing was that...

Here, the temperature was much lower than we had experienced so far in Japan on this trip and the snow was piled up ...
