Travel Log: Nara

Pin It

As you can see, I've been hitting the road a lot lately! In just the past month or so, I been to Tokyo on a few different occasions (Harajuku, DisneySea, Hiratsuka), Shimoda, Osaka and now Nara. And it only gets worse; in a couple of weeks, I'm heading over to to Thailand to begin a 2 week road trip across Cambodia and Vietnam. I've got to learn to say 'no.' 

Anyway, I had never been to Nara before and despite sweltering temperatures it was a really amazing place. Check out some snaps below...


Deer crossing...

Deer everywhere!

Wishes displayed outside a shrine...



Row of Lanterns at Kasuga Taisha...





It was sooo hot and therefore quite difficult to keep up the momentum all day so I retreated indoors around midday when the heat became too stifling but Nara was definitely an amazing experience!
