Outside Kaiyukan, a LEGO penguin the size of Minmin.

Then lunch at Ganko in Tempozan Marketplace, a sushi set and udon. BB Bagel helped with the menu.

Fresh nigiri after a morning of looking at fish. I didn’t feel bad about it.

Then a walk round Tempozan. A penguin drawn on a wall got a pat, and the yellow flowers got grabbed, one by one.

The Ferris wheel up close, and a LEGO giraffe outside LEGOLAND Discovery Center.

Big fish day, done

On the train home, Bagel passed out on Minmin, still holding his new octopus toy. Back at the hotel he woke up and did laps of the bed. Dinner was McDonald’s, with a bacon potato pie, which you only get in Japan. Big fish day.

Postcard from Tempozan, Osaka

The mall right next to Kaiyukan, with restaurants and shops inside and the Ferris wheel outside. The easy place to feed everyone after the aquarium.
