Summer in Japan

I spent Saturday wondering Kamakura once again and here are the results.

Cairns

For the last part of my Australia trip I went to Cairns where I got a closer look at some of the wildlife.

Litchfield

While in Darwin I visited Litchfield National park.  The park had several beautiful water falls and lakes you could swin in.  Another feature of the park were hundreds of massive termithe mounds.

Jumping Croc's

After my trip to the rock I took a ride on The Ghan to Darwin.

Once in Darwin I took on of the jumping Croc tours.

Ayers Rock... or is it Uluru now?

During by brief time in Australia I had the priviledge of seeing one of the continents greatest natural features Uluru.

A Trip Down Under

last week I expanded teh scope of my adventures and dropped 'down under' for a few days.  My first stop was Sidney, though I only had a day there I did geet to see some of the sights.

A couple of weeks ago I took the train out to Sagamahara to see the "Giant Kite" festival, above are a few of the photos I took.

Yabusame

 I headed to Kamakura once again, this time to watch a yabusame (mounted archery) demonstration.

Kyoto

Various attractions in Kyoto including some of the most famous temples in Japan.

Odawara Castle

Odawara Castle was the seat of Oda Nobunagu's power in the 16th century, it was also his strong hold as he sought to conquer Japan. The interior is now a museum housing a variety of relics for the samurai era. Unfortunately no photos are allowed within, but managed to snap a few regardless.
