Tokyo

Hi again

We're in Tokyo now and still having a good time. Since we last posted we have visited Kinkakuji temple in Kyoto, before we headed out into the Kiso Valley, we're we stayed in Tsumago. From there we walked along the Nasakendo trail to Magome.

Both towns are really pretty to walk around, looking much as they would have a hundred years or so ago. During the day, they become small tourist towns, with busloads of Japanese tourists and schoolchildren going around a small number of shops and restaurants and then by 4:30\5pm everything is shut again and we were virtually the only people walking around.

While we were there we stayed in a Ryokan and ate "traditional" Japanese food, mostly unreconisable to us, except for the crickets, which were crunchy and tasty!!

Now we are in Tokyo and spent yesterday and last night walking around the bright lights and we'll have a look at a few other things today.

Bye for now.
