We bagged the tours today, so as to spend time in the city of Kobe. Little need for us to do the side visits to Osaka, Nara or Kyoto – all popular tours.
Kobe is an overnight stop. We get at noon and leave at 7 PM the following day. Kobe is located of course not far from kyoto , Nara and Osaka with easy access by train




You might notice two sets of chopsticks on my tray. . Originally there was one and in the middle of eating they brought me a second set of chopsticks. I turned on Google Translate to ask why, they explained maybe you would prefer this type or maybe you would like these better.

Overall, basically a day of sleeping late eating a lot walking a lot and getting back to the ship for dinner.
Those dogs did not pose but, unlike you, they also did not walk a lot.
Nice to have a relaxed day on your own clock.
