Miyako, Iwate Day 3
Day 3 was the day that we had to change hotels so we got up in the morning, ate breakfast, checked out of Tarou Hotel and started on our way. It had been raining heavily the night before and on that day. So when we got to Tarou Station, the lady behind the counter told us that due to the heavy rains, the trains stopped and were delayed for an hour. With one hour and nothing to do, we looked for other options and found out that there was a bus that could bring us to our destination, although it will take a longer time. So we planned to board the bus when it came. But just before the bus came, the lady came out to tell us that the trains have started operation again and may come soon. So we got ourselves a ticket each and went up to the platform. The train eventually came from the other direction and the conductor told us that the train that we were waiting for was his train, and that he had to go right to the end, turn around and come back. Which meant that we had to wait for another half an hour. So with nothing to do, we started taking pictures on the platform.

After we got off the train, we boarded a bus that would take us to our hotel, The Jodogahama Park Hotel. Finally, all wet, cold and hungry, we reached the hotel.

Look at how dreary it was. It was just rain and clouds.
The hotel had a mini-bar fridge system that automatically calculates the price of each drink and charges it to your room when you pull the drink out.
We ate lunch in the hotel since there was no where we could go.

Our dinner served in our room.
Cocktails.
Uni rice.
Tomato sorbert.
The staff made our bed after clearing our dishes. But they made our bed facing the wall. And being tv addicts, we shifted them to face the tv.
We didn't do anything that day because of the rain and strong winds. We practically just lazed around in our room the entire day. When we turned in for the night, we prayed for good weather the next day.
