Excursion Day and Steve's Bday


Today we headed off with 1/2 of the iGeo countries to visit the Enryakuji Temple complex in the mountainous area of Mt Hiei. We walked for about 3 hours in the mountain area (mostly down hill) and saw some amazing temples along the way before stopping for lunch

Happy Bday to Steve in his 'bird day' Tshirt ;)

After lunch at a restaurant on the mountain we headed to the edge of Lake Biwa - one of the worlds largest fresh water lakes with an area of 674 sq km. We had a lecture about the history of the are before spending some time exploring the museum + aquarium
