peace, love and cheezu

it has taken me over a year to get to see the famous ' big buddha' (daibutsu) and of course it was the slushiest, rainiest day of the year.  alas the rain did not deter us from taking in a multitude of japanese sites, mostly of the traditonal kind - a much needed break from the bright lights of the city.

kamakura is high on the recommended list if you are looking for a good mix of japanese history, culture and cuisine all at a stones throw away from the big city (1430 yen for round trip/ 90mins one way). there is so much to take in and if i get to do it again on a sunny day, a bicycle will be a must have item.
