Palaces and Pavillions
Arguably more of the same today, but still very nice, the Golden Pavillion (Kinkaji) below is covered in over 20kg of gold leaf!
Then to the Imperial Palace at Kyoto where the emperors used to live before they moved to Tokyo 150 years ago.
Tomorrow I go to Tokyo and then fly to Bangkok and then to Kathmandu in a journey spread over 3 days... and today the guide has emailed me to say he will be 3 days late to meet us... but we need not worry his brother will get us from the airport... now imagine that...
