For #SchiffsSamstag this is Hikawa Maru in Yokohama, 2018. Launched in 1929, she was originally an ocean liner carrying 331 passengers, becoming a hospital ship in World War II, then a cargo ship and back to cruising post-war. In 1961 she was permanently berthed and turned into a hotel, restaurant, and museum ship.

We're at a high elevation on a cruise ship looking across a short stretch of water to another berth on the outskirts of a city. It's a cloudy day and the water is flat. The landscape behind the berth consists of a line of trees partly covering some brick buildings behind with a road bridge passing behind that and over the water that continues to the left out of view. Docked at the berth is an old ocean liner. It's long with a black hull over a thin band of red just above the water level. The deck structures are white and only a few decks high with porthole windows on the lowest and larger windows above. A promenade deck space is on the uppermost of these. A flat bridge forms the front of the upper deck area and is set about a third of the way back from the straight prow.

Crows enjoyed a few peanuts I had in my pocket.

Two crows facing beak to beak on the ground that’s carpeted with dried fallen leaves in the park. I find them charming.

Kum•quat may…

A large oval stainless steel washing tub full of kumquats and one lemon in the kitchen sink. Most kumquats are orange and ripe, with a few yellow green.

There’s always a person or two fishing by the opposite side of the pond, so the pond must be fertile.

A swan-sized long-necked bird is standing at the edge of water by the pond in the park. There are some green and dormant shrubs in the hilly background. The bird and the background are reflecting on the pond, and the surface of water looks forest green.

There are two orange can bins and a Japanese Coca Cola themed vending machine in the center of the photo. In-between, a hydrangea is blooming with pink flowers.

Found a lovely place that has vegan lunch! Yum!!

Got to go out with my high school bestie! Love that we can just pick up where we left off.

My tray of five dishes: in the center, an assortment of grilled vegetables and a mound of rice in the big bowl, the curry boat, a small bowl of salad greens, a tiny turnip side dish, and a small dish of pickled radish. A glass of hot water.

My friend’s tray of teishoku is also on the table.
