年末までカウントダウン
Japanese follows English. (日本語は英語のあとで)
December 25, 2021 (Sat.)
My partner needed to go to his parents' house due to a buddhist memorial service, and I heard that the restaurant would be crowded this morning. So we decided to go to have our breakfast around 6:30a.m.. There were 2 customers and us. What a wonderful Xmas breakfast time it was.
I found that it was just past 8 a.m. when I got back home. I thought that today would be a fulfilling day. I did a 6-km run and got my nails done.
In the evening, I had a reservation on a tiny boat, because today was the last day that the people could see “Rubber Duck”. I wanted to see it from the river! In addition, they provided a sweet red bean soup. That was also delicious.
Today was still in the Christmas season, so I chose the dish which was Christmassy as my dinner at a hotel. Yes, I started a 5-nights hotel stay using Osaka Welcome Campaign. My first hotel was Moxy Osaka Hommachi. This campaign is very useful and a good deal. I could get back 3,000 yen per 1 night as Region Pay point, and the room charge discounted by 5,000 yen per 1 night as well because it was over 10,000 yen per 1 night.
But I was so tired that I fell asleep in a chair.
パートナーの彼は今日法事があるので実家に帰らねばならず、ホテルからは朝ごはんが混むと聞いていたので、朝6時半のオープンとほぼ同時に朝食を取りに。私たち以外に2名男性客がいるだけだったので快適な朝食タイム。
家についてもまだ8時過ぎ。今日は充実した一日を過ごせそう。6kmランを済ませてネイルをしてもらいに行く。
夕方は御舟かもめのクルーズ予約を入れていたのでそれに向かう。なんといっても本日「ラバーダック」最終日。川からぜひとも見てみたかったのと、かもめさんの提供してくれる「蛤しるこ」を食べたくて。
今日からホテル修行5泊。といっても大阪いらっしゃいキャンペーンを使っているのでお得に泊まれる。1泊1万以上だから5000円割り引いてもらえるし、Region Payでしか使えないけど3000円のクーポンもある。今日は1つめモクシー大阪本町。まだクリスマスシーズンだし、クリスマスっぽいメニューを晩御飯に。
疲れていたのか、椅子で寝落ちた。
