    Japan day 4 – Kyoto

    Have you ever been to Japan during the summer? No? Let me tell you: it’s hot. Where we come from, we’re used to temperatures being around 40ish degrees Celsius, so it’s not so much that it’s hot – it’s the humidity! It makes everything worse. On our second day in Kyoto we enjoyed sleeping in…
