Well the Shinkanzen is certainly an experience - its the closest I will ever come to being in something that travels about as fast as a Formula One car and still be attached to the ground! The only problem is that it travels too fast to actually film anything ...by the time you get your camera ready to take the shot or to film you are in another blasted tunnel .......freaking hell this thing can move..
I am surprised I didnt get vertigo!
So we are here at the Budget Inn....down a little back road about 10 minutes from the Central Railway station...
first night on the floor in futons ..ah! its an adventure!
We had okonomyaki today which is like a big omelette with veges and sauce and mayonaise..very nice after days of eating noodles.I had not eaten all day having had a light breakfast and then the travel and I was silly not to prepare and take food on the train trip opting not to have sushi on the train like hubby decided to, so by the the we hit Kyoto I could have eaten any unspecified meat product of any sort ( as long as it was fried ) ..most coffees here are a bit yuk..but we did walk past a nice looking place tonight with heaps of great looking desserts that we might try tomorrow ( yes food is still a priority! )
Forget about cheap trinkets and souveniers - there are none.
And the clothes and shoes are totally gorgeous but very expensive...my daughter would have a field day here..Tomorrow we are planning to go to the bamboo forest if the weather is good.
