They have only one thing on the menu, and biru of course! It is this crazy kinda japanese pancake/yiros/omlette/AB type thing. We stood out the front and watched them make them on this giant hotplate. A whole bunch of wacky stuff went on it including a handful of tiny live shrimp which were kicking around everywhere! For the record, this thing tasted awesome!
So, on our last night in Kyoto, we found this little gem...
Well that's just about it for us in Kyoto. We missed out on the Golden Pavillion, and about a million other temples & shrines, but we still saw some amazing places and have really been taking it easy. We are gonna bus it out to Gion for a look tonight and then it's off to Osaka on the shinkansen in the morning. Dropping the packs off at the hotel before jumping the shink again to Himeji. Can't believe we are almost on the last leg of our trip! We are already talking about coming back!! Just enough time for a quick beer or two before we head off so it's bye for now. Love ya all, B&L
Spectacular.
We took a few photos here but as we are finding with all of Japan, photos just can't do it justice. Walking through these gates is just unreal. There are thousands of them!
Hi guys, went for a walk round the city today...some of it anyway! As with Tokyo it just seems to be never ending. Buildings all the way to the horizon, in every direction. We walked for a good few hours today and didn't even put a dent in it. We hit Higashi-Honganji Temple today....supposedly the site of the worlds largest wooden structure. I say supposedly because it is all under reconstruction and sealed off! The size of the scaffolding around it was certainly impressive! We got to sit in on a Buddhist "mass" for want of a better word, which was very cool. Then we trekked on to Nijo Castle.There are a few pics to put up when we get a chance. The weather is completely opposite to what it was yesterday...we got pretty burnt out & about today. As usual we have eaten like kings - Mister Donut for breakfast and some amazing Ramen for lunch. We are about to head out for some dins in a minute so this is goodbye again. A full day planned for tomorrow - Himeji, the golden temple & Arashiyama bamboo forest are in our sights! Take care, love to all xoxoxo B&L
