Japan Day 2
Our first full day in Kyoto. We pretty much settled down in our little inn and planned where to go. Rented bikes for the day. Managed to cover a whole lot more than just walking. One of the more memorable moments was cycling down to the nearby river and munching on melon bread early in the morning for breakfast. Awesomeness.
The thing about bikes is that the place is very bike friendly. Cycling lanes everywhere. Pavements are on the same level as the roads. No annoying curbs like in Singapore. You don’t have to worry about your bike getting stolen. Just wheel-lock it, park it somewhere and go shop/eat.
Plus the people here don’t scowl at you when you ride on the pavement, they just smile and give way. Even people in full business suits get around on bikes. It was just a blast to ride around town in our classic city bikes. :D
Explored the north-south end of Kyoto. Lots to see and eat. It became a bit of a hassle with bikes at one of the locations, no place to park and it was super crowded. Not to mention uphill. xD
Super tiring day, but satisfying. My butt hurts.
