Virtual visits
As the weather turns to spring, our thoughts turn to outings and visits to interesting places.
We are not able to offer visits at present but some of you may have experienced virtual visits
and tours on Zoom. Although not a substitute for the real thing, they nonetheless can give a
"feel" of walking round a new location. If you are missing favourite old haunts or are keen
to discover new ones there is a wealth of choice.
e.g.
London Walks,
Footprints of London.
Virtual "walk" round Kyoto, Japan
Members may be interested in a virtual "walk" around Kyoto in Japan at 9.00am (5pm in Japanese time!)
on Tuesday, 30th March offered by Richmond Arts Society. (The virtual walk will also be available
for 7 days after the event.) Kyoto is the cultural capital of Japan. It is home to over two
thousand temples and shrines, 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, and also palaces, incredible gardens
and the iconic Geisha. The walk includes the traditional Gion and Higashiyama districts with their
tea houses, traditional Machiya townhouses, shrines and gardens, and possibly, Japan's glorious
cherry blossom in bloom. Further details available to members on request.
