It's almost 9am Japan-time and we've just woken up from sleeping in our amazing Kyoto-overnight accommodations. A little place just a few minutes walk from the Kyoto JR Station called Budget Inn, and for about 4590JPY we got a Japanese-style guest house all to ourselves. ( Picture proof )
But the story really doesn't start there. Rather, it starts with our journey to Kyoto. ( Specifically, with breakfast. )
When we reached Kyoto, we had a bit of a confused trek to and from the Budget Inn to drop off our things, only to find the front desk closed until check-in. So we trudged back to the station, got a 300Yen coin locker and stuffed it with things and then headed out to buy a two-day bus pass. Stopped for a quick lunch, for which I ordered a potato curry bun to try and a...corn onion pizza to attempt. It was. Interesting. Wouldn't get that again but hey, experiences. Donna got a sausage roll and an adorable chocolate bun that I'm getting today probably. Then we chose a route at almost-random and hopped on one of the world's most crowded buses and took off for old-Kyoto.
( And guys, can I get an actual-definition awesome? )
Today we're meeting up with my friend Spuri for more romping around Kyoto, then hopefully a tour of a famous Geisha district and we'll just see what comes. Till next time!
