29/10 - Nikko

Today we took the Shinkanzen to Untsunomya, and from there a small train to Nikko. Nikko is an ancient town, where the emperror sat for a short period in the Edo era. We saw his house which is today a museum. Wooden walls, wodnerful gardens. We saw a park of lots of Buddha statues sitting in a row. Nikko is located north of Tokyo in the hills. Fresh air far away from the city's pollution. We also saw a nearby waterfall on 1200 meters above the see level, and a fantastic lake with a traditional Japaneese village. After returning to Nikko we started to search for a restaurant, which was a much more difficult task than we thought.

- Excuse me Sir, we are searching for a restaurant. Could you please tell us where we can find one?
- Oh, Sil, go to the light, and then take light, and this will be on the light side of the load.

... restaurant found, eating very tasty chineese food, decided to drink a beer afterwards...

- Excuse me, can we get some beer please?
- Ah.... Bean? Ok! Just a moment!
- No, no ... beer!
- Yes, of coulse!
She goes to the cashier and prints the bill.
- No, sorry we wanted a beer, not the bill yet!
- Oh! Just a moment Sil!

Finally we got our Kirini, which tasted delicious.
