Another great day

Today we went to school and viewed an Italian dance display then went to PE class. We have learnt some new games to share with the children at GSNS. After lunch and cleaning duties we ventured out again. Our hosts at Gifu school are just wonderful. They take us all sorts of places and really look after us.
Today we went up to Gifu Castle. We can see it on the hill opposite our hotel. You have to go up to it in a cable car as well as climb many steps to it. The views from the top of the castle are impressive as are the displays of weapons and 'armour' used by warriors many centuries ago.
We also fed squirrels while we were up there. The children all oohed and aahed over them whilst some of the adults were a bit worried about them scurrying over their feet!
The adults also managed to fit in a Japanese tea ceremony while the children were at the playground (not alone  - supervised by adults of course).
We visited a Chinese restaurant for dinner and then we went to the coromont fishing. Due to the recent typhoon we couldn't go out in the boats but we were able to stand on the side of the river and watch. Ms Spencer said you could actually see a lot more that way then in a boat.
What a great view we had of the boats and the coromont birds in the water catching the fish. It was awesome.
