What a structure. And what a Buddha.
Closed
7 Oktober 2024, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Needed alternative plans because the Nara National Museum was closed today. The Kofukuji hall for its Buddhist art artifacts does not allow photography.
Downtime
7 Oktober 2024, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Some much needed sit down time. We’ve been walking around the last few days. It’s nice just to sit, relax, and observe the locals going on about their day.
Lunch
7 Oktober 2024, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Waited for this shop’s opening. That’s what I didn’t consider in my plan. Shops may not be open from 9-5 and have closing windows. Well, now we know.
Mochi
7 Oktober 2024, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
These were the famous mochis with the elderly doing an outrageous job of putting it into shape. Unfortunately, they’re not here today.
Post-massage meal
7 Oktober 2024, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
After a great hour massage session, I got into hungry mode. Fish stock ramen is another level.
Transfer

Starting early today.
Early

Went early but I think most people did too.
Serene
9 Oktober 2024, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
There is a certain charm to walking these gates. That and so many annoying tourists that want you to move fast.

What a view of the city. And can’t probably go on from here. I’m going back.
