JAPAN Day 18

Hello back home, or to whomever reading and keeping up with my travels and adventures.
Hope your day has been great and your soul is happy!

I am well, thanks for asking. Pretty pooped after another big day. But excited to feed a monkey tomorrow. Weow!

No I am good though, Jess is good also!
I'm just a little bit sick of rice, which I never thought could happen. And Jess is keen on her green-tea ice cream still. But today was a good day all up.
Although I am still loving seeing Japan, I miss my cat. Oh and my family! So shout out to them... I do actually love you (in case you were wondering Steph)! But I mostly miss my bed! (Jess and i are on the floor again) but that's okay. Before we left we wanted the Japanese experience. Well, we got it!

Today we left for Kyoto!!
so we got to see a lot of Japan going 320km per hour on the Shinkansen bullet trains.

 The Japanese landscape. Rice fields.

Houses and more rice fields. 

Got to speak with the lady next to me on the train, with the little English she could speak and the little Japanese I could speak I found out that. She was going to Osaka to see her Father. She is married but has no children, her 2 cats are said to be her kids. I also got to give her my shine braclet, she was so touched. Its amazing how something so small can be so big at the same time. So I quickly got to share the gospel with her, and she have Jess and I some pokey. The Japanese are so lovely!

 More Japanese land.

We arrived in Kyoto around 12:30pm. And apart from the Taxi guy not having a word of English we made it to our guest house. 

 This is our place for the next few nights. Traditional Japanese guest house.

 Complete with no beds haha, but it is such a beautiful little place. Apparently its 85 years old! Very clean and well kept... like most of Japan.

 Jess on our little balcony.

 Selfie on our street. Kawaiii. We then headed to a place to find lunch, we were pretty hungry after the trip here.

    Nothing like more rice!
 
                         
 Jess has also got me onto beer. This one is actually quite nice, and refreshing! Japan is changing me.

 We then went to Kate and Chris's hostel. Which is filled with amazing things. AND YAY FOR SEEING KATE AND CHRIS AGAIN! may our Japan adventures continue.

 Kate, Chris, Jess and I walked around the older part of Kyoto. Called the Higoshiyama district. Basically some of the oldest parts of Japan.

 Loved walking around the cute old little streets.

 Motorbike in a little alley way

 We all found this Engrish sign quite amusing.

 We found a shrine in whilst walking around. They aren't to hard to find, but this one was particularly nice!

 The streets of Kyoto

Jessica

 One of my favourite humans. Love spending more time with her before she adventures off for 2 more months.

 More streets of Kyoto.

 Sunshine and Shrine.

 Christopher.

 Walking through the streets of Kyoto.

 Along the river.

 Ice cream balls.

 Lanterns.

 We then all had indian for dinner. Was delicious!

 Walking back down the river at night. Such a popular place!

 And then we all went back to the hostel where Kate and Chris are staying for a drink.

Christopher played some lovely tunes.

that was basically the day here in Kyoto. Jess left her charger at the last hotel, so we had to find another one here. We have been pretty wrecked, so just trying to have some Jesus time and rest. Other then all of that- we hope you are well friends & fam. Sending love from Kyoto, Japan xx

Kassy. That's right basically everyone here calls me Cassy. So now I just say Cassy to them so they don't have to try pronounce the 'th' 

Goodness it is funny. 

Tomorrows adventures include a castle, bamboo forest, feeding monkeys and the thousand gates shrine. So its off to sleep for us!

Bless ya
