This one turned out more adventurous than we anticipated, as we got mugged and laughed as other got mugged in turn. Yip, folk, you can get mugged in Japan by deer. Makes for a nice change 😉
Here some photos of an epic day, which the children loved. Needless to say, the deer got their pound of money out of us, but we also got a few tricks up our sleeves: never show a deer a biscuit and don’t crack one in half in their vicinity – they recognize the sound.
The roots of the trees show everywhere, I’m starting to suspect it is intentional.In the East dragons mean water. We saw them a lot in Nara.One of the many temples at Nara.Manholes are usually beautifully decorated with a theme from the area.Deer mugging as it happens.These two were not interacting with these well fed mammals, nope, they were playing Pokemon Go, which actually turned out to be a good way to explore an area as it shows you all the historical sites.I got to step in deer poop, but this sign was for something else – fruit that fell off a tree. Not sure I would have noticed the difference.More gorgeous trees.A temple entrance decked in ginko leaves.
