Kamakura

One hour from Shinjuku, and after missing the first train, I got to the hilly town of Kamakura, famous for its daibutsu, at lunchtime. So my first mission was to feed my stomach before searching for a great Buddha.
I found an off the shopping street small restaurant, witout any foreigner, and had my first meal on a tatami. I sat properly for 6min, waiting for the food, but could not feel my feet after that and sat crosslegged instead, the way men do.
I had a donbouri again, since i needed rice and was in a hurry, and that is the easiest to eat with chopsticks.
After lunch, and after recovering some feelings in my right leg, I found the great Buddha about 2km later. Thankfully, the town has lots of forests and hills and a nice breeze was cooling me off.
Each pitstop being used to rest and use the toilet, it was time to look for the sea nearby. I had a map, given by the tourist office at the station, but everytime I set out for a path, I ended up completely somewhere else. Fortunately, i followed the circling birds and the smell of seaqeeds, and ended up on the waterfront finally. Maybe I will go to Chiba for the beach on friday if the weather is nice because it is summer after all.
Again, on the way back through the small streets, i set out for Yuigahama station, but ended up at Hase station, on the other direction. Well, at least i got back to Tokyo for the sunset from the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.
