The five story burger

Today (well, yesterday) we travelled to Nara, near Kyoto - most of the
tourists in Japan had the same idea that day, as there were hardly any
luggage lockers left.

Seeing as we had just had 2 days of rain in Hiroshima, we decided to
speed straight to Nara as soon as we hit Kyoto on the Shinkansen.

We kind of forgot lunch, and ended up in a Japanese version of Maccy-
D's with a hamburger in our hands.


Shortly after that we walked to see the magnificient Todai-ji temple,
made entirely of wood, though as we are starting to learn as with most
temples like this they got torched at some point in their mid-history
and ended up being rebuilt. This one was rebuilt 2/3rds of the size of
the original, but it was still a stunning sight.

Later as we wandered the park next-door kay said "..and up here on the
left there should be a five story burger." - clearly she still had her
lunch on her mind.
