For some reason I decided to get a +Katsu-Sandwich<a href="#fn2" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref2" +role="doc-noteref"><sup>2</sup></a>, which is out of character for me - +I usually go for Onigiri - and then to have it on the beach nearby. +Seeing as i was the only person eating anything there should’ve been +hint enough.

I +guess the visibly imminent rain made the shop keeper put them out there +for tourists (conveniently helping him get rid of <em>what was probably +left behind by his own clients</em>). Naturally I picked one up: This +umbrella would be with me for the next months.</p> +<p>There isn’t really that much to say about the big Buddha, in the end +it’s just a large statue (that you can go inside of for a fee).</p> +<p>Despite the weather there was a surprising amount of tourists and I +wanted to get out of the bustle, so I followed the street that had let +to the temple <!-- TODO: what temple --> area. A bit further I came to +some stairs next to one of the tunnels that lead out of the Kamakura +city area, that cut through the surrounding hills. OrganicMaps told me +there was a hiking path up there, which I could take to circle back +towards the train station.</p> +<!-- TODO: trail map? --> +<section id="footnotes" class="footnotes footnotes-end-of-document" +role="doc-endnotes"> +<hr /> +<ol> +<li id="fn1"><p>??? <!-- TODO: insert link to wikipedia --><a +href="#fnref1" class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +<li id="fn2"><p>??? <!-- TODO: link to picture --><a href="#fnref2" +class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +<li id="fn3"><p>??? <!-- TODO: add picture link --><a href="#fnref3" +class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +</ol> +</section> |
