It is truly wonderful to be back in Kyoto again. We were here 8 years ago and in parts it feels like yesterday.

I can tell the Mosquitos have heralded our return with a celebration party- us being the guests of honour. I also remember the many helpful signs for tourists.

What I don’t remember is the rather humid climate. Since we have been here it has been about 34 degrees in the shade and probably slightly hotter in full sun. Couple that with an 86 to 89% humidity and it’s probably akin to sitting in a dryer on high heat.

Walking is a bit of a challenge, doable but tiring. We are seeing lots of the main sights and some beautiful shops – those with air con are particularly appealing.

All told a super trip so far. Great company and good humour all round. Now, how about another walk for food??
