Takayama

It was foggy this morning so we could not see past the hotel car park. At 9am when we caught the shuttle bus into town it was still only 3 degrees. We walked to the river where there is a market selling fruit, vegetables and other produce. A couple of the merchants had kero heaters burning to keep them warm. 

We followed a walking trail through the older areas of Takayama. An excellent free map allowed us to understand what we were seeing along the way. It was Saturday morning and we saw a few dogs out with their owners. Most of the dogs we have seen are either being carried or pushed in a pram! 

At a coffee shop I ordered hot chocolate but did not expect this decadent concoction. It was delightful!
