Sakura in Kyoto - Chasing Sakura!!!


After the Kawaguchiko visit - watching the Fuji mountain - we immediately went to Kyoto.

Definitely would not recommend the midnight bus especially the standard bus. Lets just say that it is a standard "Japanese' bus. It is small and does not cater for the bigger sizes : )

Nevertheless, it was a good experience. I am suprise a lot of the people - young people - dress up to board the bus. Make ups, high heels and for the guys only loosening the tie. If its me - the ties would definitely tuck away in a bag or somewhere similar. In Kyoto - the sakura has just begun blossoming but managed to get some good pictures especially the really pink colour ones.

One the first day - we went to Kiyomizu Dera for half a day. The reason for this is due to the numerous arrays of shops lining up the street to Kiyomizu Dera. We only spent half an hour at the temple with the remaining time set for shopping!!!

The result - the parting of some serious money by my sister : ) and yours truly. As we were too tired to continue the exploration - we went back to the hotel to check in and rest a bit before walking to nearby shops for more shopping and dinner.

I am unable to download the pics at the moment - Will do so asap : )
