Nikko,
Japan
Tuesday, May 8, 2007
This time escaping Tokyo back into the mountains North of the city. In all Tokyo is a bit of a let down, not huge amount of sites to see....I guess the war effected alot of things here. The best thing about the place is the small districts and the crazy people.
Well Nikko...its a bit like some of the other places i have seen Nara and Kyoto....the ony difference I suppose is the mountain back drop with its snow covering, although It was bloody hot walking around!!!
The temples are pretty cool too, so didnt want the fact that they were similar to put me off.....in fact one shrine Taiyuin-Ryo was pretty damn impressive.
I took again a good train on the way back, this was a fairly good price and really puts what we have to shame in the UK. This was a local train, but still quick and tilting.
So the Japan adventure is over, I have loved this place...everyone should come..dont let the rubbish that its an expensive country put anyone of....OZ is more pricey than here!!!
I have a slight problem now though, I need a new passport and apparently this takes 8 days...so considering wheither I should go to India or not!!!
