Slow down

I missed the train I wanted to get this morning - I got side-tracked by clearing up my hotel room as I'd done lots of washing the night before and had covered pretty much every available surface with the contents of my suitcase. So, instead of taking an express and changing, I'm on a direct local train to the temple complex of Kotohira-gu (Konpira-san to the locals), staring out the window at the amazing mountain scenery and enjoying the air conditioning.

I saw a man outside the travel agent in Takamatsu Station vaccuming the street outside, something I've only ever seen in Zurich before. There are definitely similarities.
