Firstly yesterdays blog entry now has photos!
It's been raining pretty much all day in Kyoto which will almost certainly ruin the cherry blossom (sakura). Hopefully better weather tomorrow.
Started the morning with the strangest breakfast I've ever eaten. Tofu and miso soup doesn't quite compute. We'll have to wait and see what we get tomorrow.

After a random breakfast we headed to a river gorge just north west of Kyoto for a river rapids ride through the gorge (below). Plenty of sakura and the crew were very entertaining even though we had no idea what they were saying. Probably making fun of the gaijin (foreigners).
Vistied a temple with some great sakura (below) and bamboo forrest (below) but we were absolutely soaked by then, so headed back to the hotel for some dry clothes and then some shopping at the amazing Kyoto station.
Currently dressed in traditional Japanese kimono style outfit after having a very hot Japanese bath.
More exploring Kyoto temples tomorrow with hopefully some better weather.

A rainy day in Tokyo beats a sunny day in the office anytime and
Tofu and miso sounds better than cheesy fish.
Penny sends her regards from T5 Gatwick...we should take bets on you getting home before her!
In case you didn't know and i'm sure you don't care but there'll be a Portsmouth v Cardiff FA Cup final.
