3rd time

This time round, again we flight back from Haneda to Hiroshima by ANA.
B787!!! This is our 3rd time taking it in this year.




















We enjoyed watching some documentary show,
like Pierre Herme's culinary show and TOTO's toilet story.


Really love B787! =D


JAL will start operating B787 between Singapore and Haneda/Tokyo from October 2012,
Hope SQ and ANA will operate B787 in near the future or I may patronize with JAL!

Dreamliner

This time round, we took ANA first time to fly back to Japan due to our super tight schedule.
It was supposed just rushing flight but in the end, it turned out to very very wonderful flight ever.
We took flight from Singapore to Haneda, then transit to domestic to Hiroshima.

Haneda to Hiroshima, we were lucky that we took B787 Dreamliner!!



In front is 2nd fleet we took. behind is normal colouring.


Officially start flying sky not so long yet,
and only a few flights are launched in domestic flights, surprisingly, Haneda - Hiroshima is one of first launching destination.


We were so excited when we saw it at Haneda airport, even excited during the short flight back to Hiroshima.


We took 2nd B787 fleet, only this 2nd and 1st has special colouring on its body.
Not only that, these are designed for international and only flying domestic sky limited period.

Specially designed RR engine sounds were different sounds as other engines, flight was all the way excellently smooth.



I love its unique wings, really nice.


I felt like really comfortable flying.






We totally loved at first sight and loved again in 2nd sight after taking B787 flight.



I don't mind flying back to Japan just to take B787...haha.
I really feel great that this world-collaboration fleet.


After taking ANA flights, I found it is pretty pleasant flight taking ANA.
I might take ANA more often than SIA.

Room was not too small, but not too big.
Dinner course was quite reasonable quantity and tasty too.


'mamakari' fish. mamakari means, tasty till need to borrow mama (cooked rice) to eat...


Before dinner, we enjoyed 4 onsen, and after dinner we enjoyed another 5 onsen (incl sauna & water bath).

The island located southern setouchi-sea,
Just an hour plus from my place but the sea was so beautiful.

we rent fishing rod from the hotel and did 'Sabiki' style fishing.
'Sabiki' style is to hang bait basket either bottom or top of hooks to attract fishes.

It was my first time for me to do 'Sabiki' fishing as usually I do rock fishing or beach fishing.


both us blur blur prepare and anyhow did.

Surprisingly we fished quite number of fishes.
Small sardines, small horse mackerels, seabreams and some other small fishes.


stucked sea bream, wild and so nice body colour.

Got interesting thing, a greedy fish, stuck into bait basket,
little sea bream, stucked fishing line between basket and hooks...
WHAT KIND OF FISHING IS IT??!! =P


After enjoy fishing, there were another surpise for shiu-chan, all squid dinner.
It was also my first time to have whole squid sashimi.


this squide known as queen of squid. mild taste.

both us enjoyed the meal, include following dinner courses.


In the night, enjoyed salty hot spring and looking up beautiful stars in the sky =)
