John & I got off the ship at the first opportunity and took the portliner monorail to the Sannomiya Rail Station. WE bought a ticket direct to Nara and sat back for about 1 hour 45 minutes to reach Nara. WE visited a number of places in Nara, including the Five storied Pagoda, 3 story pagoda, Sarusawa-Ike Pond, Nara Park and the highlight, the Todaiji Temple with the Daibutsu (Great Buddha). The entire area was filled with deer, reportably 1200 of them, and very tame. We couldn’t believe how many people visited there until we realized it was a Japanese holiday… It was a spectacular day! Seems I am am getting worse with 3 postings…. Oh well, it was a very special day…
