This post is mostly a jumble of pics of the train ride to Nikko and then eating lunch, so if you want pretty pics of the temple, all that is in Part 2~ ☺
On December 12th I went to Nikko with a group organized by JUSCO (I love that organization more and more!)
And yes, my post about the trip is a little bit late but hey I have been busy!
Where is Nikkō - Located in the Tochigi Prefecture about 140 km north of Tokyo (aka about 87 miles) in the mountains surrounded by lovely nature
What is important about Nikkō - It is the location of a UNESCO World Heritage Site= Nikkō Tōshō-gū (I will go into that more in part 2)
Even though I had a fever which I new would get worse I still went and it was worth it ^_^ (and I REALLY hope I didn't get anyone sick!)
I didn't take all these pics!!!!!!!!! I wonderful gentleman sent me pictures from what I think was 4 different cameras so for once I am in some pictures!!!!!
Train ride- A wonderful place to sleep, read for literature class, and chat. One of the members handed out christmas presents to everyone!!!!! Nothing beats Ferrero Rocher chocolates!
[[posterous-content:pid___3]]Luckily someone took pictures of the scenery! (I fell asleep)
[[posterous-content:pid___9]]After getting to Nikko we settled down in front of the train station and ate obentou's (Japanese boxed lunches)
[[posterous-content:pid___1]]After eating you really must have some exercise! Trying to teach Grainam how to fall into a back arch.....I don't think it is a talent he will be picking up soon[[posterous-content:pid___24]]Waiting, waiting, waiting for the bus ^_^[[posterous-content:pid___31]]In the same area there was a tiny fountain, equipped with cups for your convenience, for a refreshing drink! (I didn't taste it but I hear it is very refreshing)[[posterous-content:pid___33]]
