Kyoto

I went to Kyoto on a school trip last Monday (November 1st) - it was absolutely beautiful! The city is jam-packed with temples and shrines, so it's a pleasure to look around. I think it's probably the kind of Japan that most people imagine before they come here.

Unfortunately the bus trip there and back took six hours, which meant we only had three hours to look around. Next time I'll definitely have to go for longer...

The aquaduct that cuts right through the middle of Nanzenji.

Some of the members of Lewis's Fan Club.
The Philosopher's Path. Apparently it looks absolutely beautiful when the cherry blossom is out.
