We arrived in Kyoto early, around 7am. We stopped at McDonald’s to change and get breakfast (to my shame). After, we went to see these beautiful orange gates and temples.It rained, and with the shrines nestled amongst the trees, it was so peaceful.
After leaving the shrine/gates, Mochan took us to an area where we could feed monkeys, go to the bamboo forest, we even saw women dressed at Geisha’s.
Sadly, after this beautiful day we headed to the ship in Kobe. Leaving was bitter sweet.
It was such and enjoyable experience spending time with not only Mochan, but also with each other.We made memories and developed relationships, only to travel to a new place and do it all over again.
The reality of travel has finally set in for me. I must go back (I know there is always a possibility I won’t). To me, having dreams and goals is important, it is what keeps us going.
With Love From The Sea,
