Frank and Robyn search for enlightenment

Take a leisurely stroll around Himeshima Island then by ferry to Imi on the mainland. Another leisurely stroll and visit to galleries and then lunch. Then a long walk to the Monjusen-Ji monastery where we are welcomed by the abbot. A quick bath and then a fine vegetarian dinner presided over by the abbot who is a fine, jolly fellow. We return to our segregated dormitories(no funny business in this monastery) and settle down for a good night’s sleep.
