Osaka castle

Today, after a wonderful breakfast of pikelets cooked by Hunty, we went for a jaunt to Osaka Castle. This is actually my second visit, we went to the castle park (but not into the castle itself) once before (without the boys) in cherry blossom season, but somehow I never finished writing that blog post, so the below photos are from both visits.



Look at the size of that rock!

Invader!




Inside the castle is a museum, and unfortunately, it all looks very sleek and modern inside. The castle has eight stories, and the "recommended path" is to work from the top down, so we decided that climbing eight flights of stairs in one go paid for the ice-creams we'd enjoyed earlier. On the 2nd floor (second last in the order we saw them), we decided it was worth the cost of $3 each to be able to act like clowns. As always, I lost the rock, scissors, paper game, and thus failed to achieve the horned helmet...


Hunter was not willing to die for the camera
