Day3 – West Kyoto: Arashiyama and Sagano
Today I’ve woken up around 4.30 am (the jet lag is still in me), and decided to spend the morning planning the day. Original plan was to hire some bikes and cycle around the city, but considering it was supposed to be quite hot again I’ve figured it won’t hurt to fix up a backup…

Day2 – Nara&EastKyoto
We were planning on sightseeing Kyoto only today, but since we discovered our 3 day local pass rail ticket (KANSAI THRU PASS) could be used on un-consecutive days, we’ve decided to go to Nara first (50min train ride of Kyoto) in order to avoid going there on Sunday. We left pretty early (around 8) to…

Day 1 – Getting to Japan
We made it! It was a long long looooong journey. After nearly 20h flights (via Dubai) we landed in Kansai Airport (OSAKA) shortly after 4pm local time . Got the train straight to Kyoto, where we are staying for 3 nights. Since we are pretty tired today we didn’t get to do much – just…

Los Angeles…
… is a shit hole. Nothing to do there until you are with a local who knows where to go and what to do. I’m happy we stayed there for 2 days only. We’ve visited Universal Studios (which was pretty good and can recommend it). Also made it to the Automobile Museum (great collection of…

A bit more about Alcatraz
The highlight of our San Francisco visit was the Alcatraz tour. For sure. No doubt about it. I’d highly recommend reading up on it as it has some great story behind: Comprehensive info is provided on wikipedia. The tour was so really well organized, intense (in good meaning of this word) and… felt real and…

San Francisco, Alcatraz and LA.
We didn’t have much time to spare in San Fran – only 2 before heading to Los Angeles (where we are at now). The day1 photos (main San Francisco attractions – Golden Gate bridge the Coit Tower etc etc) – are HERE. One thing to note – it was very foggy at the bridge –…
