Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji and Ryoanji garden..15 stones

Kinkakuji- The golden pavillion. 3 stories high covered in 24 carat gold.
the lake just outside the building has small "islands" and is symbolising japans all 4 islands.

This was a building where he took women to impress them..sa there on the veranda in a house covered in gold drinking tea and watching "his japan"..who wouldnt be impressed? :P

We left the pavillion for the Ryoanji temple and its stone garden..to b ehonest..a fotballfield with 15 stones isnt impressing me at all. So we didnt stay to long..after like 30 mins me and Cet i was out on our own adventures in the newly arrived city of Kyoto.

From here we jumped into a cab that drove us back to the golden pavillion instead of the intended silver pavillion (they both soundthe same..K or G..same same:P)

So we took an other cab with a really nice taxi driver that was a hobby photographer..he gave us a photo he had taken of the golden pavillion int eh winter and wrote on the back:

"Welcome to Kyoto, The Golden Pavillion under the snow, We love Sweden 09,4,3 Photo By Ken Kato" He is almoust the best memory of the people of Japan..always friendly, always polite and just adoringly CUTE!!!!!!

Ginkakuji- The Silver pavillion..was supposed to but never was due to war covered in silver.
Its truly magnific and the garden in great..there it was also a sand garden where they had formations of sand in a very artistic way..they even hade Fuji in sand miniature :)

From here we walked a little café street and watched the cherry blossoms..after that we headed to the Geisha district..today result..8h of constant walking!!
By feet are killing me.
