Kamakura 鎌倉 trip today! Joining the gaijin club for some re-union with folks after the earthquake last month, catching up, and long journey today! Loads of temples and hikes, still some sakura, and best of all, super nice weather!
First Stop: Kenchoji 鎌倉五山第一位「臨済宗建長寺派 大本山 建長寺」
Zeniarai benzaiten 銭洗弁天（銭洗弁財天宇賀福神社）-鎌倉の名所
Lunch time ~ tried Sakura soft icecream! oishii!
Heading towards one of the best in Kamakura - The Great Buddha 鎌倉大仏と高徳院 http://www.kotoku-in.jp/ . I am not gonna post all the Buddha pics, but I had lots of happy shots today, awesome! Lots of post-processings I have already in mind, yeah!

| Guess what? They opened two windows at the back of the Buddha, pay 20yen and you can get inside the body and check it out, hmmm, I didn't do it, feeling bit odd about the idea... |

| Buddha with Sakura! |
Yet another temple ~ 総本山長谷寺 http://www.hasedera.or.jp/
Lastly, we went to see some actions, 鎌倉流鏑馬 http://www.yabusame.or.jp/english/index.php
Not getting in a good spot for photos, but the performance was spectacular, very eyes opening!

| Note: See what's at the back of him? hehe |
Finishing off the day with chicken skin BBQ 鳥皮焼き in a very special sauce, can smell it from afar, super crunchy and tasty too! Well, better don't think about what exactly is being taken in...
After thoughts for today? haha, not much thinking today, too much sightseeing, hiking, chatting, eating,
these itineraries have been filling up my brain and body,
let me take a break today mate!
