This holiday caper is exhausting!

Today we travelled to Kyoto on the shinkansen. It was crazy-fast and crazy-comfortable.

We then walked around temples and took roughly 65 million photographs.

It’s been both action-packed and pretty excellent. And exhausting. So exhausting.

I’ll hopefully get on to a post with actual content at some point. It would be nice to stop walking for 5 minutes to do so.

My impressions two days in – incredibly peaceful and very soothing. And food! Such good food!

Ever since I first read about it, I’ve wanted to see Nakagin Capsule Tower In Real Life – and today was that day!

It is just a fabulous as I had hoped! Especially with a bonus layer of urban decay.

It was by complete coincidence that we are staying (tonight) about 30 min walk away, so there was nothing for it but to meander around trying to locate it – in spite of google maps often trying to lead us off in the wrong direction.

Already we’ve walked for over 20km, gotten rather sunburned and consumed some amazing food.

I’m completely knackered and keep nodding off while writing (and hitting lots of the wrong keys).

<edited> next morning to correct sleepy typos!
