vacay day 21 : last day in kyoto.

we took today pretty easy, no serious agenda. first we wandered through nishiki market, saw another temple, and explored kyoto station. it is a gorgeous, gorgeous train station. and massive as well. on the way back to our hotel area, we were walking on a riverside path when it suddenly started to pour (when half an hour earlier it had been hot and sunny), and we were luckily able to run under a bridge for shelter. after an hour or so without any sign of clearing up, we ran up to the street level and grabbed a taxi instead. after dinnering on some udon, we walked around some more, specifically over in gion, where we spotted 3 geisha! they were all in a hurry and avoiding tourist cameras however.

anyway, now we're all packed and ready to head back to tokyo in the morning.
