We heard a lecture from an Atomic Bomb survivor, Ms Kono Kiyomi & Mr Mido
Yoshiyuki. They spoke about their amazing stories about their
heartbreaking stories of survival. It has been 77 years since the bombing
of Hiroshima so there are fewer and fewer survivors so this is an
extraordinary experience for all the students.

It looks like we have been fortunate to have no rain, and will continue
with our Hiroshima school trip as planned.
As we pray for peace, our thoughts will be for those who have suffered from
the affects of the typhoon 11.

We arrived in Hiroshima. After a short bus ride from the Shinkansen
station, we are now in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. We have been
greeted by brisk winds caused by the typhoon but no rain. We are going to
give 1000 cranes to the peace monument.

We are now on our Shinkansen heading for Hiroshima, it looks like it we
will be going towards typhoon 11 head on. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
The students seem really relaxed and are enjoying the train ride as they
read books, play cards, and chat the train ride away.

We had hit a little traffic this morning. We are now at Shin Osaka waiting
to get on our Shinkansen. We will have a quick breakfast before getting on
our Shinkansen. The students are so well behaved while waiting for our
train.
