and the rain came tumbling down....

And down and down and then there was some more rain and just in case
you hadn't had enough there was some more. In fact it started at 7pm
last night and 24 hrs later it still raining . And the rain is making
all my cherry blossom fall off grrrr.........
Still we're British so we were off in our ponchos with umbrella backup
at 08.30 and we made it back to dry out at 18.30.
In attempts to stay dry we went to the Manga museum and Nijo castle
which has nightingale floors - very musical. Then we hit Nishiki food
Market and the handicrafts centre. It was the 17 ish km in between
these that got us more than a little damp!!!!
We are hoping that tomorrow is a little brighter so that we can get to
some of Kyotos beautiful temples and stay a bit drier!
No piccy today - too wet to get camera out.
