ok to stay and for a base to visit places for the day from there

Nice sea front, shopes, they day we went in June there was a car rally of old cars happening on the sea front, the roundabout as we left town had a dinasour on it made from plants, desp trying to find the photo.

You must visit the Grandhotel and have coffee on the terrace over looking the sea, the price is only 1 or 2 euros more thn in a normal cafe but the view and the hotel it’s self amazing. There is a nice Market too on a Sunday selling fresh produce, seafood is a very cheap, home made, pickles were also an amazing find here. Cabourg does represent france turn of the centery in its building style.

Hornfleur I just fell in love with, we ate them ost lovely meal 3 course in a resturant down a side street near the harbour, mussells, fish and hte nicest normandy tart washed down with wine and all for 20 euris each in cluding tip. Hornfleur is great for a day visit the new gardens on the see front and niceley down and worht a walk around, a trip on aboat from the
harbour is also worht doing you go out under the new point de normandy bridge, I juts canrt say how sweet this little place is.

Kyoto was the most amaing place, every corner seemed to have a temple the kinkauji ( golden Temple) is certainly worth a visit as is Kiyomizudera it has a large terrace and great views over the city it also contains what is reputed to be a stream of live, drinking from the water is supossed to give you a longer life. ( i’m hoping ot make it to wel over 100 then)alos well worth a visit is a tourist district just on the outskirts of the city called arashiyama, it has a famous bridge
while there take the sagano trian that winds it way in open cars (though Id not like to be in one if it rained) up the mountain you can combine this with a trip back down by boat very jolly and recommend.
