Hello,

This is called Kyoto take 2 because my first attempt went very wrong.

We went to Kyoto on Saturday 10th December with Ben's boss and his family, it was really good fun. We drove so didn't see much of the city but we did get to visit some gorgeous Temples and Shrines.

We visited three temples Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, and Byodoin.

Kinkaku-ji is the golden temple, it was absolutely beautiful especially because it was sunny.

Ginkaku-ji is the silver temple, I believe it was meant to be covered in silver but they ran out of money. Don't quote me.

Byodoin is a very old temple, it was established in 1052. We arrived as the sun was going down so the photos are a bit dark, also the temple is on the 10 yen coin.

We visited a few shrines but I don't know the names.

Hopefully you will enjoy all our photos.

Vikki and Ben
