Nara - Todaiji Temple

Yet another spell of good luck, Todaiji was closed. We still had a look around the area and took some pics. Out the back of no where Nara is home to Todaiji Temple, which houses Japans biggest Buddha. We didn't see it but I'm told its awesome.

In other news Hughsey bought himself an Ice cream and soon had a bunch of deer chasing him for some. Quite amusing.

We stopped by Wald on the way there to take some more pictures of their demo cars also.

Hiroshima & the BOMB!

So we headed to Hiroshima the place where the ww2 nuke was dropped, this place had a strange feel to it. smiles once people knew we were Australians but stares and weird looks up until then.

Here some pictures anyway, the mound has 70,000 ppl buried in it from the blast -
