Koya-san 14.7.

Danes smo se z vlakom peljale do vzpenjace, s katero smo se peljale do avtobusa in to vse zato, ker drugace ne smes na goro. Je bilo pa vredno vsega "truda", saj je cudovito. Sami stari nagorbniki prerasceni z mahom, templji z miljavznt "tori-ji" (ok, 54 ), pri nekaterih lahko celo dobis caj. Povsod so stara visoka drevesa in zato je zrak veliko boljsi, kot v mestu. Tudi temperature so bolj znosne. Ima pa vse svojo slabo stran in tukaj so to komarji, ki pikajo podnevi.
Nasle smo tudi otrosko igrisce s pagodo, kjer smo se vsaj kaksno uro gujsale in pele slovenske pesmi. Razen Spela, ki je za take oslarije prestara in si je raje brusila nohte. Mimo je prisel tudi nek menih, ki je sprehajal psa (ne svojega, od nekega starejsega gospoda) z imenom Ben-chan (pes). Pes je takoj letel do Spele, tako da se je potem ubadala z njim.
Vceraj smo zvecer v hostlu preizkusile sento ("javno kopalisce"), kjer se najprej umijes na stolcku (pred ogledalom!!!) in splaknes, nato pa se gres namakat v 40C banjo. To je tako fajn!　Vse smo se "zaljubile" v tako obliko umivanja. Ko bi le pri nas imeli kaj tako sproscujocega!

Today we took the train to a cable car which led us to a bus and all that because it is not allowed to climb the mountain any other way. It was worth all the "effort" though, because it is beautiful. A lot of old thombstones covered in moss, temples with too many tori`s to count (ok, 54) and at some of them you even get tea. Everywhere there are old trees and the air is much nicer than in the city. Still everything has a downside and here it would be mosquitos that bite in daytime.
We found a childrens playground with a pagoda, where we sang sitting on swings. Well except Spella , who is too old for such bullshit and prefers filling her nails. A monk walking a dog (not his dog, but from an older gentelman) passed us by. The dog called Ben-chan ran right up to Spella, so she was playing with him.
In the evening we tried out senta (a oublic bath), where at first you wash yourself sitting infront of a mirror, and then go sit in a 40Ｃ　ｗａｔｅｒ．Ｉt is so much fun!　Ｗｅ　ａll fell in love with it. I only wish we had something that relaxing at home!
