Wear

22 September 2007: Early morning start to beat the heat.

Kiyomizudori has beautiful wooden stilt supports and a great view of Kyoto. The massive wooden structure has been repeatedly rebuilt. Claire's favorite.

The side streets walk to Kodaiji Temple is rich with stone paved streets and elegant homes. Along the main road I finally saw three geisha - only Kyoto still has geisha. The temple area was more spread out than others, but had a great feel due to the bamboo thickets and temple chanting next door.

Down to Fushimi Inari shrine and paths of orange gates, the South Africans tell me all about it. We ran into each other near the train - I am not a spy.
