On the evening of the 13th of October, Joep suggested that we all take a cable car to the top of Mount Inasa. I have to say that I felt this was one of the major highlights of our trip to Nagasaki. The views were spectacular! It was very refreshing to stand there and take in the views whilst being exposed to some fairly strong gusts of wind. 
There were a number of other people on the viewing platform who were also enjoying the views. Apparently it is a popular place for couples to cement their relationships or for couples to break up. Those who cement their relationships often attach padlocks to the railings which need to be periodically cut off by the local government workers.The visit to Mount Inasa was an unexpected bonus as it was initially not on my 'things to do' list. I would love to visit again someday. After about 30 minutes at the top, we returned to the cable car for our journey back down the mountain. The views on the way down the mountain were not as spectacular but were very interesting - I could see into the windows of all the houses along the cable car route.

Certainly was spectacular up there! A good way to unwind after the wedding. Clara loved it too.
Do the reported English teacher sackings affect you??
Glad your folks had a good time.
Unfortunately, my job is safe.
it was a great evening. Before we went up in the cable car I went for a walk after the wedding and ended up in the Nagasaki museum. Very interesting account of the 250 year that the Dutch were the only trading partners. I too hope once to be back in Nagasaki to explore a bit further
Thanks for writing this.
