Kyoto and Cherry Blossoms

It's spring here now and it's the favorite time of the year for Japanese people, the cherry blossoms come out!! It's an excuse for them to eat lot's of food and drink under the trees. We wondered what all the fuss was about so we headed to Kyoto to check it out. We hired bikes and cycled through the city, stopping at temples and parks along the way, the sun was out all day and I even managed to get burnt. There were people everywhere, everyone had turned up to view the cherry blossoms, and people were also having picnic's under the trees. We were lucky enough to see some Geisha as well which was pretty good, we stopped and took some photo's of them. We headed back to Osaka around 6pm, it's great that Kyoto is so close to us!!
