Underwater?

We went to see this underwater museum in Katsuura City today, a city 2 hrs away from our place. We left at 1030am and arrived at 1245pm in Ubara station, a station so remote that they can't accept suica cards and we had to pay the remaining fare in cash (it kind of reminds me of hirooka in nagano during our aots days) and the trains bound for chiba are 1 hour apart. So well, anyway, we (just me and bert.. we didn't want to drag anybody on a 4 hr train ride over some place we haven't seen before) set off on foot in search for the "famous" underwater park. We followed the signs and walked for 15 minutes until we found the place and then we set off onto the viewing tower to see what the park was all about.

I was a little excited because we went on to explore an entirely new place that we've never seen before and I got to navigate. We didn't get lost but the place wasn't much. It was ok but not enough to justify our 4 hour train ride and not to mention the train fare. We still had time to pass by Mobara but I couldn't remember what we were supposed to see there so we went home instead.

To justify our disappointment on our trip, we took a lot of pictures of the place, pictures to denote the remoteness of the place and how we enjoyed the trip anyway. As soon as we arrived home, we decided to stuff ourselves with seafood, a craving we suddenly had once we had a whiff of the salty air by the sea. I cooked something like a paella, stuffed with crab, shrimp, clams, squid and a lot more. It's a great way to end a funny, rather than exciting day.
