Miyajima is one of many small almost tropical (by my standards at least) islands just south of Hiroshima and features the following: A big red gate in the water (very pretty), Deer (agressive little gits once they spot your handful of biscuits) and Monkeys (monkeys apparently on holiday).
Despite being a little dissapointed in not seeing any monkeys, Miyajima is a really nice place - warm, pretty and once up to the top of the cable car - awe inspiring. Sadly I cannot show you much of this as upon setting foot on land it transpired my camera wasn't happy and wasn't going to do anything (try to not to panic Dad I'm sure its only something minor and quite easily fixable), so I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Naoko gets her photos developed before I can share the view.
