After a week of full-on exploring sometimes clocking up close to 10 miles a day we finally slowed things down a bit. And it was just what we needed.
Ali and Georgia started the day with a bit of sparkle, heading off to a Gold Leaf Class where they made their own bags decorated with delicate gold leaf. Pretty fancy! Meanwhile, Dotty and I had a cruisier morning at the park. Swings, slides, and a heap of giggles made for a top little outing.
We all met back up at Castle Park for a laid-back picnic under the blossoms. There’s something seriously special about Kanazawa’s parks peaceful, picturesque, and perfect for recharging.
After lunch, we had a gentle wander around the city’s historic wall gates, admired the blossom, and pottered through some local shops. No rush, no fuss just enjoying the day.
We wrapped up a bit earlier than usual, which was a welcome break after all the walking we’ve done this week. Safe to say our feet appreciated it!
Next up: Tokyo! Tomorrow we jump on the train for a whole new kind of adventure bright lights, big city, and a heap more memories waiting to be made.
