After Nara, Kyoto. were on fire.
As expected, we woke up later than planned, so we were not plenty of time to spare. I did not want to see many temples (Kyoto is nothing important 14 or 15), but rather see a bit of that was the city, which they said was very different from Osaka and, of course, Nara.
However, upon arrival we were swift and fast (the latter with little take literally) to see the temple Kiyomizu-dera . The temple is glorious in spring and autumn, that the trees in bloom. In winter were rather depressed, yet the temple is beautiful and very large. Samples:
I think it goes without saying that the temples are not a single building, but several, each with its meaning and most used to pray for different things. It's like a system of points of any secretariat "no no, to ask for eternal happiness is that building there, here we can only ask for salary increases."
And yes, I was there, I have taken photos of google.
Note the appearance of underground adonis Ninety of the second photo. The environment helps, I must admit.
The most beautiful and frequented the temple were a kind of balcony from which you could see the city bathed in a sea of \u200b\u200b"cherry? (At that time were drier than the roe).
A curious habit (so that no lie without knowing anything new) is washing hands, can not remember why they did (as a tour guide I have no money), but the truth is they all followed the ritual , caught the water from the mouth of the dragon with a bucket, and washed their hands.
After the temple we went to eat (and late afternoon) and caught a bus running to see the bamboo forest (which curioooooosamente was on the other side of town). After confronting the abusive price of bus arrived with the good fortune that was beginning to get dark, and things such as, bamboo looks less dark. Not only that, but to reach the above had to cross a park where the signs were fatal (or so said Mary I, as you will understand I am not in a position to say). Apart from the bad signal to the mission was added a serious complication in Japan seem to know the meaning of the term "lamp" and before we fully realize in the dark on a road we do not know where it leads, but that certainly does not seem very prepared for the tourist traffic. We decided that better weather and a withdrawal back to Osaka shattered, that it hardly see anything, but walking a walk.
funny thing is that Mary then told me that when he returned to Kyoto was the forest ... and we were right. Perhaps if we had continued we would have disclosed the secret of fluorescent bamboo.
never know.
