BACK TO KYOTO FOR ONE NIGHT

Image
We said a fond farewell to Tokyo. The bullet train had us back at Kyoto in no time.  Another enjoyable train ride. That night we stayed at another comfortable guest house and saw the town by night. A traditional dinner was a priority.  Naturally as chop sticks are their utensils, one has to request a knife, fork and spoon.  We sat at a bench to eat this delicious food.  On request, mine was well cooked.  Will enjoyed raw fish!!  SUCH A LARGE SERVING OF FISH THAT WILL ENJOYED .   We saw an entertaining play.  Then  I went to to a tea making ceremony which took ages.  We walked a great distance back to our accommodation after seeing where the Geisha girls work. They were traditionally dressed, shuffling along in tight shoes: faces heavy with makeup. 

OUR DAYS IN TOKYO

We set out early to explore the city as well as the river.  So many bridges of different colours.
