Kyoto to Kanazawa.

It turns out that last night's commuter train ride was good practice for this morning. This was another time where our main suitcases would go on ahead and we would just have one hand luggage each with enough for one night.

This morning we had to catch a train at Kyoto station and to get there we would, once again, catch the commuter train at 8.31am. It would be busier than last night and we might not all get on. Plan B was for anyone not able to board to wait for the next train and we would meet up at the ticket exit at Kyoto station.

Plan B wasn't needed - we all boarded.

From Kyoto we caught an express to Tsuruga and then changed to a bullet train for the rest of the journey to Kanazawa. A coach was waiting to take us on today's siteseeing.
