Day 3 - Kyoto Bound
Caught the Shinkansen from Osaka to Kyoto station. Stupid amounts of people at both stations, but the train ride was insanely short, so that made up for it. It was easily 30 degrees which was a bit of a shock to the system coming from the Australian winter, and in amongst the thousands of people was not fun, but we eventually made it. Train staff …
Day 4 - Kyoto Temple Hopping
Awoken at 6am by a couple of young girls wrestling in their bed, the day began. I went down to the foyer and got some bus maps, and with that we were on our way. A whole day bus trip around Kyoto is 500 yen ($5) for an adult, which is good value considering individual trips are 220 yen. the girls aren't classed as human beings until they are 6 in …

After we arrived there at about 10am the crowds …
Day 30 - The return to Kyoto

I attempted to wake Charlotte, as she said she would come up to the markets with me, but no amount of prodding would wake …
Day 31 - The Kyoto shopping circuit
Lazy day in Kyoto today. Nothing on the agenda today. We took our time getting ready to leave the hotel in the morning, and headed out at about 10am. I think Kyoto is my favorite Japanese city. The pace of the city is slower, the people are friendlier and the city seems alltogether easier to get around. If any city feels like "home" in Japan, it …
