Driving with My Family

My family went for a drive to the mountain area in Okayama. We visited a limestone cave, Makidou, the ruins of a copper mine and some historical buildings there. It was nice drive and visiting. The cave was especially nice for me. The insid of the cave was fantastic and the air was crisp and cool.  

On the way home, we went to a public hot spring. We took a nice bath at the Onsen. I was really relaxed. 

A Long Drive

I had to go to Okayama where is 180km apart from my house.

The story goes like this, my son took part in a table tennis tournament in Okayama on May 3rd and 4th. He left home and took a bus to Okayama at 5:30am. After that my wife realized that he forgot to bring his table tennis shoes. It was 6:30am at that time, and the tournament would start 9am. He couldn't play table tennis without wearing shoes.

I thought he should buy new pair of shoes at a shop near the gym where the tournament  held, but no shop opens by 9am there. So, I decided to bring the shoes to Okayama.

I drove to Okayama and it was a nice 2 hours drive. I reached there before 9am. I made it by my son's first match. He thanked to me and after 10 minutes, I left there because I had some work in the afternoon. 

On my way home, I had a terrible drive. I caught a traffic jam. It took 6 hours to get home. I was really exhausted.
