A day of temples, castles, shrines and zen gardens. Yet again we pre booked a guide as an introduction to the city - which we're finding invaluable (although I can never remember any of their names!). It was a really hot day so the kids did well as we dragged them around. Weirdly bumped into Grant and family while having some a cold drink and arranged to meet them later. The Shogan castle with it's amazing 'nightingale floors' was cool highlight, but also really enjoyed the bamboo forest, golden pagoda and zen garden. Fun, hot and busy day topped off with a easy curry and a few beers with the Hunters.
