We've been running more ... .. to Mount Fuji. Here we will probably stay o ride out the storm so we have installed ourselves in a hostel near the mountain.

885 m above sea level
However, we have not succeeded yet to see the mountain when we ran here was the rain and mist and also it became dark before we reached the hostel, so we hope we shall get a glimpse of it tomorrow.

We have hit pay motorways today and now tonight, we observed that the approximately 40 miles has cost us in 1200 .- toll, talk about toll roads, I believe that we actually bought the route. But in itself it's clear that it costs because we have driven through a series of tunnels, and when I quickly worked out how far it was so they were together more than 15 km tunnel on this route. We also drove over 4 pc bridges about the same length as the Oresund Bridge.

It is fine to run on non-toll roads, but if you could run those up here today so we had not caught up to the mountain for the evening.

The weather today has been very light rain almost all day, but the button so that the roadway was wet. But the closer we got the rock and the more rain the evening o fog became. So the last bit of Fujikawaguchiko, as the small town where we live is called, it was both dark, foggy and rainy. No fun together, so we took it very carefully last bit.

Yesterday we were real tourists in Kyoto. we were at a temple, a fortress and a castle where the Shogun lived. In addition, we were up in the Kyoto Tower, wow what a view. We were up at 100 meters above the city and had good control over the entire center.

We also went past the museum of Japan's first manga series. Now I'm not so interested in the Manga but I know which one is it, my brother's boy, Olle so now I know where this is if you want to come here.

We also tried to go to Kyoto's subway was very easy compared to Osaka. It has only a few lines and is very well organized and safe. When you stand and wait on trains so that you are in a waiting room. Not until the train doors will open so that you can get on the train. Before one can not get near the tracks. Cannon.

At the castle where Shougun lived, as Ninjo castle was called, but it does not take any pictures. It was very interesting going o look in the rooms where he worked and lived. In the corridors, they had a special floor that was "hung" on an ingenious device so that it was almost like floating. P. Because of this, "squeaked" the floor all the time you bought it. It also called for "nightingale floor" as it chirped like a bird.

There was no furniture in the house without any acknowledgment of the people, work-life observed sitting on the floor. In the private areas of the castle was just Shougan and women staying here so he alone was lord of the Hill. Women were 13 in number and it was a great honor to belong to this crowd.

There also lived a lot of ministers and other officials in the other parts of the house.

In Shouguns garden, there were only pines, for he did not want to be any changes with the seasons. He wanted it to look like day out all year so that he did not think of that time went.

We strolled around in the old quarter where there are still a lot of old wooden houses left. It is so cool o nice in these kvarteraen so that it is difficult to understand that you are in a city. Here and there one can also see women who are dressed in the traditional Japanese way gamalt middle of the throng of traffic.
