Rumbled

So if you don't already know, I get pretty nightmarish when I haven't eaten. So after all the temple hopping, we headed for a recommended Tempura restaurant. After a couple of scenic and not so scenic detours, a couple of snatched guide books, a couple of snappy 'Let me have a look's, we finally made it.

We sat at the counter, snappy words (ok ok MY snappy words) forgotten over a beer, watching our food be cooked, and I've never been so excited to see my food deep fried. We had asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, fish, corn, shrimp, and what I'd swear was soap wrapped in a leaf. But I left with a warm feeling in my tummy and a wagging tail.

After the meal we had the obligatory drink in the obligatory Irish bar, staffed by an obligatory obnoxious American watching the obligatory replays of World Cup matches.

After that, all we were good for was bed ... There was another day of templing ahead of us!
