The next leg of our journey will take us to the reputed and much talked-about city of Kyoto.
After a relatively short ride, we arrive safe and sound.
 |
| Even the stairs are cute |
 |
| Not even out of the train station yet, and we are bombarded with kawaii |
 |
| Yes we do! |
In this city, we decided to book a place to stay through ''Air BnB'' which is a service where hosts can rent out their extra bedrooms, apartments, or even whole houses.
As a patron, you are allowed to search through and filter these places based on your desired locations, price, features, or even previous user reviews.
We made sure to book a place relatively central, and best of all with bicycles!
Our rented apartment was only a couple blocks from Nijo Castle and the nearest train station even closer. A short shuffle a couple blocks over with our bags, and we were home free.

| Ground floor and humble |
After unloading and reclaiming some energy, we decide to go out for a walk and gather our bearings.
 |
| Conveniently, we were also only a few meters away from Sanjo Dori, a major shopping street |
It doesn't take long for us to decide we're rather hungry, and we go venturing down an inviting side street.
Anne's watchful eye catches a place that serves one of her favorites: Okonomiyaki
 |
| Our chef preparing the delicacy |
 |
| Very happy to have some crispy fresh food |
 |
| Custard filled fish. So bad, but so goood |
So after our meanderings and some debatable dessert choices on my part, we decide to purchase wine, chocolate, snacks, and chuhai to celebrate our arrival.
Decision-making was further impaired as the night went on.

| The last thing I remember |
*THUMP*
