Day Trip to Naoshima – Japan’s Art Island

Day Trip to Naoshima – Japan’s Art Island

We had heard a lot about Naoshima, Japan’s art island, off the south coast from Okayama. We also knew to book tickets in advance at the Benesse Art Site, (benesse-artsite.jp) for any of the main art museums, which we did when we first arrived in Japan. So, after breakfast we boarded a train heading south […]

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

We took an early breakfast and then walked into town to the travel agent’s office. From there we joined a busload of fellow travellers and were bussed out to Puerto Bories. Here we boarded our boat for the day. It wasn’t the most modern but had plenty of tables with seats. We sat down with […]
