In Nagasaki

This morning we took an express train to Nagasaki, situated 105 km from Fukuoka. The city is nice, surrounded by mountains, I really like it.

But Nagasaki is famous for something horrible, it was the target of an atomic bomb on 9 August 1945. We visited Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park and hypocenter of the explosion. They are very interesting but extremely sad places.
In the pictures: Peace Statue in the Peace Park (dedicated to victims of the explosion) and a view over Nagasaki.
