Today started at 5.30am. The mad rush to leave the house before a flight for some reason always surprises me.

This morning was a nice and relaxed start, with alarms set for 8 o’clock, but really no rush to do anything. Checkout was at 10, and Drew and I were joined by Brad for some last chance temple hunting in Osaka! […]

Read MoreTodays tally: 15,595 steps, 10.75km, 14 floors, 3 layers of clothing. This morning was our last morning in Kyoto, and to be honest I’m missing it already!
