Kyoto 3

* Disclaimer - This post is temple and shrine heavy so move on if this may lead to a nervous disposition.

After our day of hungover relaxing we decided to get up at the crack of dawn and head out of the city limits on bikes to cram in some temple related culture. It turns out we didn't really need to set alarms as the Buddhist (who I have now decided may follow Shintoism) snores like an absolute beast and kept us up most of the 5 hours we tried to sleep in. Honestly though his snores felt like the earthquake we forgot to tell you we felt on our first night in Tokyo.

So after a spot of brekkie we hopped on our bikes and headed out to Arashiyama to see the Golden Pavillion Temple (seen above), Bamboo groves and generally a whole host of back alleys in between. What you see below are the photographic highlights of the day, including our first certifiable Tourist Photo.

We also saw some down right bizarre stuff which was just as good and much needed light relief after suffering from a condition commonly called Temple Overload.

Our last day in Kyoto was spent in record shops and a reasonably underwhelming National Museum which I don't really feel like acknowledging with a full write up right now. Sooooooooo lets move on.
