A sea voyage is fun...

Today we went to the west of Osaka, to the harbor. Here is the world's largest aquarium with a whale shark as the main attraction. But we didn't go in. Instead, we rode the Ferris wheel and took a harbor tour with the Santa Maria (Columbus' ship). Columbus never visited Japan, but oh well :) The Ferris wheel is 112.5 m high and offers a beautiful view of Osaka. There were two lines to wait in: one for the regular gondola and one for the gondola with a glass bottom. Thanks to my slight fear of heights, we didn't have to wait again :D I don't know why you would need a glass bottom in a Ferris wheel, but some people seem to enjoy looking at steel pipes and concrete floors.
