-In the morning, we went to visit the [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/world_heritage_site]].
-One should expect to grow bored of Shinto and Buddhist temples after seeing many of them
-all over Japan, but visiting the Nikko temple area was once again an extraordinary experience.
-And I could finally spot a few [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miko]]s too!

+==== Productive flight ====
+
+**GEEKY UPDATE**: On the flight back to Europe, I spent some time to add lots of new goodies to [[GeekiGeeki]],
+including a nice grid view for photos, the possibility to specify css style for links and inline objects,
+and automatic generation of human-readable link tags from wiki URLs, which should make the wiki markup
+much cleaner.  As usual, these additions resulted in simplification of the codebase rather than code bloat :-)

-The [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko|first batch of photos from Nikko]] are now online.
+==== Guided tour ====
+
+Pictures of our day-long [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/waterfalls_tour]] are now online.
+Our friendly guide, the Buddhist monk whose name I forgot, answered many of our pending questions
+about Japanese traditions and religion.  Hiking through these sacred mountains and woods was an
+enjoyable experience.
