koyasan 2007

Just before scott left we went to Koyasan again, it was a holiday weekend, so the last temple we stayed at was fully booked.  This one was OK, Scott wasn't overly impressed, but I thought it was quite nice eating in our room, complete with sake and the freedom to slob after in our yukata.  There was quite a lot of napping actually.  We went for a walk around the graveyard, we took a detour off the path and got attacked by mozzys.  After our bath, the futons were all out ready, Scott decided it wasn't enough and took all the spare bedding n used that too.
Next day we got up early to listen to the prayers, I think the head monk was 92, he talked for ages
but thats ok cos he met the pope!  Later I went and threw water on the buddhas (and myself), a little bit of gift shopping and then we went home.  Not such a bad trip in the end.
