After lunch, took a ferry from Hiroshima to the vacation island of Miyajima, only to be greeted by the killer deer from Nara, only this time, they travel in packs! If you run your eyes quickly over the two pictures, it vaguely resembles the running of the bulls in Pamplona, no?
Miyajima is a sacred island, and one of those odd Shinto rules dictates that nobody can be born or die on the island, so they maintain an emergency evacuation service for those people rude enough to try to do either of those things on the island. It's quite beautiful as well, but most people (including us) don't see much of the mountainous island. Instead, it's a straight shot from the ferry terminal down the village main street to their famous temple, Itsukushima Jinja.

Speaking of the Smoking Gun, how did you guys manage to squeeze Miyajima and the Catskill Game Farm all in one day?
