I leave Okinawa as the sun goes down.

I go to Narita to spend the night in airport hotel from whence to Scotland. When I arrive it is black and I take it that the hotel is in the middle of warehouses and parking lots as such places tend to be.

However I awake to find that the hotel is in the middle of farm land. I have very early breakfast where I learn that the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August.

This does not spoil my breakfast

For recreation I go for a tramp around the rice fields and woods. It is beautiful – very quiet, very green, very summery but not like Okinawa.

Rice

What’s this?

Makes the crops grow good

Airport hotel

Very pleasant.
