On a free afternoon, the 3 young ladies pictured above, who shared a room on the holiday, decided to go and try out a Spanish hairdressing salon.
Back combing was the height of fashion.
We emerged from the salon back combed and lacquered, and as I recall very pleased with the results.
A force nine gale would not have shifted those hair dos.
Please notice the sticky out skirts with full petticoats which were also in fashion. 

 

 

My name is Ku-Ki
I guard the railway level crossing.

 

Once, on a level crossing at this point, a car and a train collided and many people were killed.

After the accident a man and a dog were posted at the crossing to warn cars of approaching trains.

The train line is now closed, but the old man and his dog still remain.

The old man has crippled hands and he earns a little money from the tourists through his performing dog, Ku-Ki.
