what did I do on my cruise stop in
0:01
Hiroshima Japan well first I got off to
0:04
see the famous Atomic Dome this is now a
0:06
UNESCO world heritage site and it's
0:08
become an iconic symbol representing the
0:11
atomic bomb that was dropped during
0:12
World War II on the 6th of August 1945
0:15
over 140,000 people died in Hiroshima
0:18
90% of buildings were destroyed and this
0:21
is one that remained in part it's now in
0:23
an area called the peace Park filled
0:25
with over 60 memorials there's also a
0:27
museum that shows and tells the stories
0:30
of people that died or were injured and
0:32
all about atomic bombs personally I
0:34
found it a little bit too much a bit
0:35
harrowing and I couldn't stay there very
0:37
long so I escaped had a cup of te in of
0:39
sandwich at a cafe across the road and
0:40
pondered it all so then next I went to a
0:43
way more peaceful spot which is the shuk
0:45
Japanese Gardens they were also
0:47
destroyed by the bomb even though were
0:48
many hundred years old and they've been
0:50
rebuilt accurately they're stunning then
0:53
headed back to the ship for our next
0:54
Port follow for more adventures in Japan
