Kyoto (and Tokyo)

Had a good flight to Tokyo and spent Sunday afternoon sightseeing. Such a huge place and hard to know where to start but got a feel for the high-rise part of the city and some of the smaller shopping streets in the Shinjuku district.

After a long sleep took a late morning bullet train ("Shinkansen") for the 450km journey to Kyoto, taking 2 hours 20 mins. That afternoon and today sight-seeing in Kyoto. This is an old city with lots of interest. There are a huge number of temples and gardens so I've hardly scratched the surface.
