Bus Trip - Part 5
...the final installment of a bus trip to Osaka and Nagoya, continues.
My friend wasn't busy, so the next morning, we headed out to a local cafe to enjoy breakfast. In Aichi and Gifu prefectures, cafes are often open in the morning and sell what is called a "morning set". It's a standard breakfast with coffee or tea.
We looked over the regular menu, but voted to just eat the normal "morning set".
Unlike Western style breakfasts, in which you can select the foods to eat, morning sets in Japan are finalized -- you get what the restaurant serves. Luckily, these are all my favorite things: yogurt, salad, an egg and toast.
There is nothing like enjoying a slow morning over breakfast with a friend. Before saying good bye, we asked the shop lady if she would take our photo....
I then headed to Nagoya station to catch the bus. This time, I rode a double decker bus, sitting up top where I enjoyed the view all the way home.
I really enjoyed this trip. Visiting spots by bus is a cheap alternative for those interested in traveling in Japan. I highly recommend it.
