Woke later then expected again.
Taking the Kintetsu Express direct from Kyoto to Nara.
Arrived. Take the East exit to destination.
There are many temples in the area, and many with entrance fees, so I chose the most unique (biggest Buddha) and pretty places which are entrance fee free to visit.

The shopping street (near train station) which I will visit when on the way back.
Crowded, and lots of students, all heading in the same direction.
Within 10 mins of walking, while heading to Nara park, deers started to be seen.
The deers are smart, they ignore you if you do not give them food.
Vender selling deer biscuits. Buy some for 150 yen.
Finally managed to force a deer to take wefie with me.
On the way to Todaiji
Todaiji - 20 mins walk from the station.
東大寺 has the world's largest wooden building and one of Japan's largest Buddha.
Admission is 500 yen.
