En Route to Kansai ~~ Nara

Yay!! Karrie and I are reunited once again I cannot wait to make some blog posts! It is going to be great to do some videos with my awesome camera lady! 

We decided to opt out of taking the plane  due to the hassle of taking the train to the  airport. So we used the night bus, ¥4800 yen one way 9:20pm-5:55am. We were really worried that there wouldn't be toilets on the bus. (FYI: you can fly with jet star for really cheap as well {¥4000-¥7000}  but the flight is really early on the morning)

Strangely enough after an hour we made our first pit stop. I have to say that the best part is the fact that they have wifi! Yay! Unfortunately they kept stoping and everytime that they did it was for about 30onutes and they kept switching the lights on :( we'll soon enough we'll be in Osaka!

After arriving in Osaka we dropped off our bags at the hostel to only return after 6:30pm to check in, it seemed quite late. So after our coffee and breakfast we decided to head to Nara to see the giant Buddha and pet the deer!

We did just that! The deer are very docile but when you have 'deer cookies' しかせんべい (¥150 for a stack of them) they go a bit nuts. Hungry animals are quite intimidating. We continued to walk around until we reached a free rest stop where you could drink some cold tea for free as long as you washed up. It s a great facility and I wish more of them existed around the world.

Our rest stop for free tea!
