Wow, the plane trip was never ending. Not only was the plane ride itself really long but it was made additionally long by the extra 5 hours we had to wait for the plane crew to get to the airport (about 3 hours) and the de-icing of the plane (another 2 hours). Did you know that they spray funny green stuff on the plane to de-ice it?
So instead of spending half a day in Narita to get oriented and de-jetlagged, we headed straight from the airport to the hotel to wake up the next morning - or wake up 300 times until the next morning - to travel to Kyoto. I never knew that you can have butt pain from sitting for too long but apparently it really can be a pain in the ass.
Today we arrived in Kyoto. It was super beautiful in Tokyo but as we headed West, became cloudier and cloudier until we reached our destination in Kyoto. More to come later...
Brief preview - yummy awesome noodles for lunch, even though we ordered from a picture, saw a temple, bamboo groves, a fancy garden, and the lantern festival which conveniently lasted until today, had dinner at a little Japanese pub with yummy things like chicken heart but my dad hated everything there and refused to eat anything after his experience with a raw quail egg and some funny consistency potato.
