Kyoto for the 3rd time!

Christos insisted to go somewhere with the Nozomi Shinkansen (300+km/h). we was actually whining on this since before he came to japan... so what's the best place to go with the shinkansen other than Kyoto?! ofcourse, when we got in the, fairly expensive, train he complained because the train was TOO fast for him to get photos...

when we got there, we followed the "path of wisdom" along the old canals of Kyoto. it was a fantastic walking path. actually it would be great if we didn't actually walked there in the night... later on we returned to Gion, the district with the geishas. we actually spoted one or two! we had dinner and then we found our hotel which was again japanese! of course, with a high-tech toilet ;) late at night, we ended up in a hotel in Kyoto station sipping some really aged whisky!

next day, we started walking from kiyomizu-dera towards heiyan-jingu the place in which Scarlet walked in Lost in Translation one of favourites. we went to many temples along the way until we reached our final destination. unfortunately, my camera card was full and Christos would not take the images I wanted... so what better to do than transfer the images from the card to the laptop... in the garden... while it was raining... and it was closing time... and the guard was waiting... ok, not the best of ideas....
