It was a public holiday yesterday, to celebrate the vernal equinox.
We all went to Hayakunen Park, which is on the other side of Gifu. It is a lovely drive there and the park itself is big and filled with trees and plants. It also has a small museum.

I did not go up the stairs to the museum. I did not walk up the path. Austin and I went up in this elevator
It looks like a self-driving tram. Austin and I got in. Some Japanese people got in. The door closed. We all sat there, not moving, until Austin noticed the elevator style buttons and pressed the one for Up. Whereupon the elevator started to move. Everyone laughed 😜
The museum itself is very cute. It's not especially big but it is lots of fun. There was a replica of the house down in the park. There are dinosaurs and nature exhibitions. Local archaeology. Daily life. Plenty to see and do

| These can be my new walking boots |
Then we came back to the 21st century and went to a nearby mall for a light lunch and to a Donki to see if I could get some packets of mixed KitKats (answer: no) and then home.

| Coffee jelly |
Cherry blossom time is approaching, although I don't think I'll be here for the main event. I'm leaving on Monday and I think it will be a few days before the trees come into full bloom
And for anyone following my breakfast adventures, this is what Austin made for me yesterday morning
