nagasaki

Got up way too early for the start of a holiday and got to the understandably crowded Haneda Airport with plenty of time to get on our 8am flight. Landed in sunny and beautiful Kyushu, took the bus into Nagasaki, and checked into Sakamotoya.
The day was still young, so we wandered around Nagasaki, getting lunch in Chinatown and checking out Glover Gardens, Dejima, and all the other cool foreign-devils-in-old-Japan attractions. Rode the cool romen-densha and enjoyed the stunning weather before heading back to the inn and feasting.
A good start to Golden Week with only minor sun-burn on the balding head.
