We bought a picnic lunch at our local shop. Laxmi found Pokemon icecreams. Banana and chocolate flavour.

We found another boiled egg and toast breakfast cafe. They had the tiniest little jugs for the creamer.

We met Oliver and Narumi and Nanaka and Miyu on the steps outside the Osaka castle station. We got there a bit early and watched lots of runners go by, a baseball game and a singer with his two dancers.

We had our picnic in the park and went to see the castle. There were giant stones in the moat walls. The castle was 8 stories high. We climbed to the top and looked out over Osaka. Varsha put a Samurai outfit on and Laxmi and Nanaka and Miyu wore kimonos.

It was hot. There was water mist spraying down on the stairs outside. We saw amazing dancers and had shaved ice.

We caught the train back to Tennoji and had dinner in our favourite sushi restaurant. They were happy to see us. Laxmi was very happy to have 5 hand rolls. The chef made a butterfly out of a leaf and a rose out of tuna.
