During my stay in England, I was visited by my good and old friend Ondřej Preuss. First day of his visit we roamed around Plymouth and in the afternoon we crossed river into Cornwall and made few kilometer foot trip into nature.

Trip to nara - we visited giant wooden temple Todaiji (東大寺) and then roamed nearby park including botanical garden and Kasuga Taisha (春日大社) shrine. All around the park there are lots of shika deers that were once almost extinct but now they prosper and hunt tourists for crackers that can be bought in local vending machines.

Bycicle trip to Arashiyama (嵐山) that is located in north-west Kyoto near Katsura river. Notable stops are Daikaku-ji (大覚寺) and Tenryu-ji (天龍寺) temples. On the way back we took detour and followed Katsura river to the south.

Okayama city. We visited Crow castle (烏城). It was destroyed and then fully reconstructed after second world war and now it serves as museum with samurai swords, amors and other. Under the castle there is Kōraku-en (後楽園) garden, which is considered one of three most beutiful gardens in all Japan.

Silver pavilon - Ginkaku-ji (銀閣寺) and then walk through Philosopher path (哲学の道 Tetsugaku-no-michi) that leads south to Nanzen-ji temple. Then we took a little pause at hotel and after that we went to see Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), this time beautifully lighten-up at night. Too bad that my compact camera couldn't do it justice - it was one of my best experiences in japan.
