So...above that's me enjoying life business class on British Airways,
And then a couple of views of Mount Fuji as we streaked past on
the Shinkansen on our way from Tokyo to Kyoto.
The sun shone on our arrival, albeit that temperatures are still cool,
and has continued to shine today. It's been a perfect day for our first taste of Kyoto walking to the Gion area and doing some temple
viewing.
A little early for full on blossom viewing, we have seen a few blooming trees that have made the architecture look even lovelier.
We made our way gently toward the Kyomizu-dera temple to be rewarded with some amazing images of beautiful buildings, land and cityscapes - and people dressed in traditional robes; it seems that it's
the done thing to hire kimonos and be photographed in this special place.

And still to come....supper with Louise and Kouchi.......
