My amazing adventure Part Five...

Today we travelled by train to Nara, about an hour away.
It was a beautiful sunny day  and our mission was to go to the deer park and visit the biggest bronze buddah in the world.
The park itself is quite different to how I imagined it to be - it is huge and kind of runs around one side of the inner city including some shops and streets so you have buses driving through ( to take all the tourists ) .The deers are very cute, a bit like feeding the kangaroos back home I guess - they get quite feisty when the food appears ans baby girl had fun feeding them. We walked to the biggest wooden structure in the world which is a temple that hold the biggest bronze buddah in the world. Need I say more????
Then I read that the building which was moved to this spot is now only 2/3 its original size ( built in 17 century ) it is massive and very, very beautiful......The buddah is enormous and also very beautiful. Around the back is a pillar that has a hole in it where people can pass through - if they fit they are guaranteed good luck!
Baby girl did it twice - the first time with a hand to pull her through ( which was then pointed out as being not as good as making it through yourself ) so we sent her though again...( yes...we have the photos )
then she was mobbed by giggly girls who wanted a photo with her and she proceeded to have a bit of a conversation with them....very cool.
We stopped off for udon noodles and okonoyaki at a little cafe that had a griddle in the middle of the table for us to reheat our food on it and keep it warm and then we headed back.
We have found a really cool supermarket close to us with every sort of food you can imagine and so much sushi and prepared food that it is hard to make a choice....we got some things for dinner at the backpackers and we even microwaved it using the ovens at the entrance of the supermarket before we left. We sat in the common room and had free sake and our meals and coffee/tea and then little girl tried on a kimono - She looked beautiful! ( yes...we have photos! )
Tomorrow we go to Osaka to a very big aquarium..it has a whale shark  - how great is that???!!!!!
Can anyone suggest how I can fit back into my clothes?
I am expanding by the second!!!!
