Osaka Kyoto Adventure - Day 3 (Aug 2)

Hearty breakfast to start off the day ...and we were off!
Visited a couple places in the morning...including a really long stint at the Botannical garden where Angel went crazy taking pics of every plant! Andwhen the people there found out one of us was from Southern African, and another from South America, they got REALLY excited and we got a private guided tour and were taken to a VIP display away from the public one where we saw even more species of plants- some I recognised from back home ya but some of them I was like huh? They were VERY kind to us- they took so much of their tym out to show us around and they made us fel really special like we were some visiting ambassadors or something! Twas bril!


Then ofcourse, as any tourist to JP will tell you, no trip to Kyoto is complete without visiting Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Temple.




Very beautiful and the gardens are out o this world! Very serene (and at the time of our visit, it being summer, very lush, green- very relaxing indeed.

Late in the afternoon we also spent some tym chilling in one of the most refersing rivers I have ever been in. (Outside temperatures were averaging 35/36celsius an humidity is WAY high!). Spent some tym just soaking in the magnificence of God and reflecting on my life- where I am, where I have come from, where we are going etc - very nyc;)


Then we hit the road again - back home to Osaka.
