skyringKerri is guiding me through this strange city. We have seen many wonderful and interesting sights and eaten some unknown food. We grazed through the central food market this afternoon where we had icecream that grabbed the eater by the back of the throat. We could have bought small live crabs, blueberries for $30 a bag – small bag – taro roots and wasabi grinders.
We have visited temples, ridden subways and walked along beside a canal under cherry trees, just we two alone with about a bazillion tourists.
Our hotel is beside the huge central station, with trains and buses to all parts of Kyoto. It is an amazing sight. If there was a train to get from one side of the station to the other, this would be handy. We passed many shoe shops, but by the end of the afternoon I was looking for a foot shop to buy a new pair.
Finally worked out how to get online. Free internet and breakfast for a thousand yen a pop. That’s about ten dollars and is Japanese – no bacon and eggs, but lots of odd morsels.
Oh yeah. After the red-eye into Hong Kong, the flight up and the train out, we were about ready to drop. We crashed into bed for an afternoon nap, woke briefly well after sundown, decided we didn't need dinner, and slumbered on until dawn.
