Awaji Island ๐ฟ
We had arranged a private charter bus to depart for Awaji Island, ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ a destination not originally on our travel itinerary. My interest was piqued when I stumbled upon a vlog about the island, ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ and since we prefer natural landscapes over urban shopping, we decided to include it in our plans. After doing some research, we found that transportation to Awaji Island is quite inconvenient. ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ Initially, my husband suggested driving there and sorted out the driver's license, but to our surprise, the rental car agency informed us that his Hong Kong license, ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ despite being a valid Hong Kong license, could not be used to obtain an international license without a Hong Kong ID, which was not possible for us. ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ This left us rather speechless and cost us a loss of 300 yuan in the process. So, we ended up contacting a charter bus service after all. ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ #Kobe
