I'm trying to keep up with writing this on real time! It's working so far! I'm in a routine golf going for brekkie then chilling in hotel room and writing this up before I go out. How beautiful is Nara?? I really love this city its got a chilled out vibe to it.
Today started either trying to feed the deer in the park ... I soon found put that for every instagram reel of foljs feeding docile deer there are 6 more of folks being butted and nipped by aggressive deer 🤣🤣🤣🤣😳 yup guess which one I was!! I ended up just throwing the crackers at them trying to get them to stop nipping 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a total wash out though I saw the posters fir this exhibition
Innocent looking aren't they 🤣🤣 apparently they are sacred and the traffic stop for them as they wander across the road
I really wanted to see this
Set in beautiful gardens
Well this was just a stunning exhibition really informative too, I dud get a telling off for taking a picture of one I wasn't supposed too 🤦♀️🤦♀️ but they were nice about it and I think their signage was to blame 😆
These two were magnificent I understand why David gets so much press but honestly these two were soooo much more powerful
The captions were really small but most of these jars are 6-11 BC 😳😳😳 incredible
I adore this one looks lime a steampunk owl I think
Wash basin and ewers
After spending ages looking at these I pootled across the road and got my first godhuin (Shrine stamp) ofvthis visit! It was at the Himuro Jinja Shrine very lovely
Still looking allllll innocent 😆😆
Next up Todaiji temple
Oh my!!!!
Quite quite breathtaking
This was a favourite
There were 2 gardens I wanted to see on my way back to hotel, first up and my favourite was Yoshikien garden
Well was this just not made for me!!!
Loved these
I wasn't expecting much in bloom but look!
Next up was Isuien Garden, very lovely and they made me take a guided tour, I felt sorry for the woman I think she was a volunteer and wanted to practice her English
so today was a transit day! First up my usual brekkie, sadly this didn't really agree with me 😳 not the fault of the good I think my system is all over the place just now!
Safely made it from Osaka to Nara, even figured out buying the tickets myself from the machine instead of going to the office, its the small things 😉
I arrived in Nara way too early to check in so dumped my luggage and went for a pootle! Look who I bumped into!! We shall come back to them another day!
Checked into hotel I'm knackered! So planning the next few days and just look at all those public loos!!!!!!!! I love Japan
