hello kyoto!

we made it to kyoto yesterday via the super fast bullet train, which i think covered more than 300 miles in around 2.5 hours. it was fun! we have done a lot of wandering around the city yesterday and today and just finished up with a hot tub/bath in our ryokan (traditional japanese inn). all that hot water has made us even more tired, so time to hit our futons on tatami mats and get some rest!

We:re in Tokyo!

after a very, very, very long flight, we are here in tokyo - freshly showered and ready for some dinner. yay!
