In Kyoto

Survived the flight and the first day (nearly two days actually: landed at 9am).

Had a nap and a shower (in that order), walked around town, had some marvellous food, slept nine hours straight through, went walkabout this morning, had a great lunch and a walking tour of a few shrines, then packaged dinner from the local convenience store. More details about that in the next post, let's just say that the experience was typically and deeply Japanese.
