Nunobiki Herb Gardens & Waterfall

I am not a Gardner myself but must admit the gardens were delightful
We could see the glasshouse below
Gary and Diane.
Plenty of sculptures amongst the herbs and flowers
The ‘statue of love’ presented by the city of Terni in Italy, the home of St. Valentine.

The various herb gardens were grouped into the food they could be used for
Great views of Kobe
The glasshouse had a superb terrace, coffee shop and restaurant
There are 12 themed gardens along the downward path
A bit further down was a small shelter with a recreation of an old kitchen and seats to rest our feet
Is it Bill or is it Ben?
Some rest areas on the way down with great views
A rest area designed like walled garden
Diane decided to put her feet up for a minute or two.
Still a long way to go!

For the last hour the path had sloped gently down and there were plenty of seats to rest our feet.

The path became narrower and steeper
A lizard scurrying through the leaves
At least the trees gave some shade from the midday sun.
An hour down the path and we reached Nunobiki waterfall.
It was very peaceful and relaxing to sit for a while
A sign said it was only 350m to the railway station where we started. A nice gently sloping path stretched out in front of us.
A short distance further down was another waterfall.
50m further on the path started to drop steeply. This last 350m took about half an hour of trying not to fall off the mountain

Back in Kobe Diane sent us both a message, “I had a super day but no more **&%x** cables cars!”

So that was end of our time in Kobe. See you all tomorrow.
