Supposed to wake up bright and early today, our final day in Tokyo city... BUT, hahah, we all woke up at only 10-ish? Aye, well. We hadn't planned for much that day, so we followed Mi Chelle's wish to see Mt. Fuji! While the other three went on a 1.5hour trip to Yokohama (aka Chinatown) to buy mushrooms and other stuff, we went back to Shinjuku to take a chartered bus (close to two hours ride) to Lake Kawaguchi! Lake Kawaguchi is one of the five lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, and is the most popular destination to sightsee;D
We arrived around 3pm, passing the Fuji-Q amusement park. The amusement park has one of the highest roller coasters in the world, and it looked pretty CRAZY to me! Haha, they had vertical dips and high high rides. Adrenaline pumping! The temperature around the lake was as low as -3'C! whee~
We walked to the lake as well as to a carpark near the Fuji Visitor's Centre. The view was magnificent. The mountain was in clear view due to the nice nice weather and it had the classic snow peak(: actually, mom and I were pretty hesitant about the whole idea of spending so much time and money to see Mt Fuji...However, after being within 3km from the base, i felt it was totally worth it. I'm so coming back here. Maybe even to CLIMB it one day((: When chelle saw the mountain, she was so overjoyed, she almost cried :D
Rushed back to the bus station to take the 4.40pm bus, capturing about 20 pics of far-away fuji while in the bus as the sun was setting.
Dinner with the other 3 at a roadside stall which usually caters to professionals after work who come here and drink, ordering food only to go with the alcohol and smoke. But we ordered much more, like potato curry rice, octopus, yakitori, fried fish and so on(:
Checking out of Asakusa, we lugged our significantly heavier luggages and dragged them to the train station. Not the nearest exit though, we went for the ONLY exit with an elevator. Which took some valuable time, causing us to miss the first train to Haneda Airport.
Airport? Yeah, end of our trip. IN TOKYO. We had to meet the SA Tour Group who'd arrived to go with them to HOKKAIDO!
WHEE HEE. snow snow snow snow:D
