Day 6 Samuri,s,Geisha,s and a Japanese Garden in Kanazawa

Day 6 We docked early and went on shore to find WiFi for my blog ,it was there but very slow so I abandoned that idea and filled out a voluntary form for which I was rewarded with some lovely Origami paper (as was Annie)we then went to the Wheelhouse Pub to await our next trip around Kanazawa to view a historic Samuri,s House and altho very scarce of furniture (apparently that s how they liked it) it actually felt very comfortable and the outside gardens were a pleasure to relax in and filled the short space that is the back yard !Samuri,s have been abolished since mid 1800,s.We also went to a Japanese Garden Park which doesn,t do too much for me (especially on this 34C humid day !) so we virtually went in & out,and for some reason everything we have viewed is on top of a mountain with lots of steps. We walked arouund the Geisha area and Annie went into one of their homes to gain employment (after an hour she came out with $50 in 5 cent pieces and I enquired as to whom paid that? Annie promptly replied (with a smile on her face) ALL of them !!! (only kidding) It was a relief getting back into the lovely air conditioned bus and out of the heat.We arrived back at the boat where strategies were in use to farewell us from this port with a 100 Japanese Fan Dancers doing a traditonal song & dance routine,then a grat performance from some young modern Japanese dancers ( I had a good giggle with them posing with me for pictures) and to highlight the farewell as we watched from the comfort of our very hgh stateroom verandah a group of young men did a flag dance ( the flags were outrageously large( and as weaselled away ALL the dancers lined the dockside and bade us farewell (it is the BEST farewell performance I have seen) We were too knackered to venture out BUT I did consume full bottle of South African white wine! The TV in the room is very large and we have access to the latest movies..but for the heat this was a great day with a great ending !!!
