Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

 

Amazing day!

 

This is the largest aquarium in Japan.  (It claims "in the world" but pretty sure Atlanta still holds that honor)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for sharing your pictures of the Osaka Aquarium.  We thoroughly enjoyed it in 2002.

I walked by the Pinnacle Grill yesterday and asked. I was told that the lunch price was still $19 plus the 18% Gratuity add on. That doesn't include, of course, any upcharged items on the menu.

 

Thanks, Rich! If it stays that way until we sail in March, it's quite the deal.

09/25/2024 Kochi, Japan 0800-1700

 

Today Westerdam visits Kochi. We were scheduled to arrive at 8:00am, but it is now 7:20 and we appear to be tied up to the dock. We will see if guests are allowed to leave early.

 

The temperature is again 73°F /23°C, with a humidity of 78%. The skies are overcast and the winds are about 7 mph. It looks to be a very pretty day.

 

Last night the show on the main stage was ‘The Sounds of Summer’ with the World Stage Reparatory Company. It was a good, action filled show featuring songs of the Beach Boys, ABBA, and others. The singers are good and the dancing enjoyable.

 

I didn’t mention the show the night before. It was a drum show from a local group. They seemed very talented and put on a nice show. I enjoy the fact that HAL tries to use local talent when they can so show other cultures.

 

Here are today’s activities and menus –
