One of my favourite places in Kyoto is Arashiyama and I wanted to share it with Dave during his time with us. Well on a Thursday morning we had an opportunity to go, with the stipulation we got home for a 4pm English class. It was a very cold (about 2 degrees Celsius) and wet (drizzly) morning when we headed out to Arashiyama. We both put on full wet weather gear over the top of our warm winter clothing (including duck down jackets).
Soon after we got there my little Casio gave up the ghost (well so I thought)... However, after warming it up under my Jacket and pulling the battery out and putting it back in again it came back to life and has worked ever since.
Well, we went to Tenryu-ji (a Zen Temple) and then to the Bamboo forest. After that we had lunch at an Udon Restaurant, but we were still feeling hungry so we went to a nice cafe for parfait desserts. Well took so long eating that we had to rush back to the train and then rush from the station back home to make it in time for the English classes. We made it back in time, but had to change clothes, because we were drenched from running home in so much gear... So much for the wet weather gear keeping us dry!
