Japan Day Nine - Part One

So we woke up from our beautiful hotel room

Since it was so beautiful we had freaked out about it costing a lot more than 80 bucks, but we went down the the foyer and the lovely man, took our 80 bucks with a smile

We'd deliberately woke up early as it was going to be a big day! There were plans. The first was to go on a swan boat. The last time I was in Japan I lacked a boyfriend and dreamt of the day I could go on a swan boat with someone other than myself, luckily Ben filled the brief and was a happily obliging participant!



we had a few options



but in the end went with the traditional
The lovely man cleaning our seats, ahhh the hospitality that is Japan!





One dream come true! he he he

The next plan for the day was to go to the top of Mount Haruna! We spied a cable car the day before and it fitted in well with the laziness

We also got to go on a nice walk on the way there!




a few minutes later and we're on top of the mountain, woot!











At one point Ben and I got seperated, I'd like to blame Ben here but since he's been gone five weeks now with his work and I miss him dearly I'm too loved up to say anything bad about the boy :P

So I took this opportunity to take some happy snaps



Ahhh beautiful Japanese nature!!
An hour later Ben rocks up scratched and bleeding. Turns out the path he took which he thought would be a five minute detour from the main path, led him down the mountain and almost falling off the mountain judging from his injuries and tales.
Ben had eventually made it to the bottom and then had to catch the cable car up to the top to meet me


No time to dwell, a quick wash off in the freezing lake for Ben and we were off on our next adventures!

  3. yes, definitely a Ben thing to do! Oh my goodness tunnel of love, I totally hadn't even included that in my dream list goals. I guess this would require travelling into a simpson's episode? :P Or maybe they're common in America!
