Jan 10 - Kinosaki Onsen to Kyoto

After a restful sleep, we woke at 7am and went and got breakfast at 8am. I decided ice-cream counts as a breakfast food. Then we checked out at 9:15am, and walked the short walk to the station to catch the 9:33 train to Kyoto. At 10:43 we had to change from one limited express to another, it was across platform at fukuchiyama station as this train left at 10:44am. It was fashioned like an olden day train with a lounge section. At the next station our first car carriage coupled with another train waiting at the station. After this we continue our journey to Kyoto arriving at 12:07pm. From here we rode the subway, absolutely jam packed to Shijo station.

Walked to Hotel and were able to check in early at 1pm. So dropping the bags and settling in we had a short rest then headed out to Loco Chicken, a small 6 seat burger/taco place that is gluten free. The chicken burgers were devine! And not at all expensive at under $10.

From here we walked all over the kawaramachi area visiting various stores until near 6pm. Hubby didn't want dinner, so kids and I had Saizeriya. Cheap food where all three of us ate for $12. Then it was back to the hotel for a rest.

About 6:30 we went out for the hubby's alcohol shop, we ended up walking about 6-7km all up, visited 2 don Quixote's, a daiso and back to the hotel after 9pm. The legs have done a lot of walking today.Read more
