Isidro should already be flying...
by darmstaedter at 16:00... and we took the "relaxed" option of "just" seeing Himeji today and a bit more of Kyoto: yesterday we met by chance in a shop in Kyoto one Spanish guy from the DLR that had lived for a year here in Japan (we had seen each other only in the conf.). He proposed a suicidal plan for Loli and me: going to Hiroshima with the Shinkansen, seeing the memorial park, back to Himeji with the same train, seeing the castle, and back to Kyoto. He said he had heard of people doing it the same day and survived. We departed with that idea but the other way around: leave early, see Himeji, if it turns out to be fast and easy, go on till Hiroshima. We did not go on and enjoyed the gardens next to the castle instead. Tomorrow we leave Hanakiya (THANK YOU EIMISAN!!!) for Tokyo
Photos: Isidro will miss the monk food, Himeji castle behind, security is heavily enforced inside the castle (reminds me of the Flintstones), in the gardens.

I have just arrived. 30 hours after leaving Kyoto I arrived Griesheim, with a few hour stops in Tokyo and Paris.
Good to hear, we are in Tokyo right now and rainy season has officially started, did not stop raining the whole day yesterday, and today it looks like the same. The umbrellas are already an extension of our hands...
