Day 15 July 2

Election day in OZ. Which is fine because we voted before we left.
We started off with me cooking some bacon and eggs which was a nice change. A little bit hard because they don't have knives or a toaster but we muddle through.
Today we're going on a day trip to Nara. It's terribly hot as soon as we walk out the door. I don't know how long we're going to last out there especially at Nara park. Nara Park is where the deer run free. It's pretty amazing. You can buy biscuits to feed the deer. Unfortunately at times the deer areas times like a bunch of seagulls and all later around you but much closer than birds. We learn to move away from groups of them. We also learn that if you hold the biscuit high they will actually bow to you before they receive the biscuit. Great stuff.
We move from there to the temple which contains the Big Buddha. I wasn't ready for the sheer largeness of the temple. It was massive. And wooden. Like a huge ark. Very impressive. Inside the temple is a huge Buddha. Again we are pretty much knocked out by the size. We wander around the temple. There is a beam holding up the roof with a small hole in it that if you can climb through you will reach enlightenment. Only Remi does it.
Coming outside it's got even hotter. One of the deer has gone into one of the shops and they are trying to get it out. There is other things to do here but the heat is a bit much and another shrine might be pushing it. So we take the bus into town and have a bite to eat.
It doesn't sound lie we've done much but it's getting on and we're all tired and decide we'll make some fried rice rice at home and I'll get the VPN working on the computer so the kids can watch Netflix. Free VPN gives us access to Japanese Netflix which as even less content the Australia. And it's funny to hear English on the screen.
The rice we buy for our meal looks a little different. But it's rice! But no. It turns into mush. So the fried rice is like fried rice soup. I eat because I'm starving. And you can wash it down with a little whisky,
