Hakone pt 2!!!




























































































3 hours of sleep....yay!.......Funnily I am not that bad...or wasn't at the time. We all got ready and went off to this art gallery which Amy had always wanted to go to and Ross took the opportunity to make that part of the birthday weekend. They had quite a lot of random French artists in there..a few greats...Monet, Kandinsky, Gogh etc. It felt almost homely to see the pictures! The Gallery itself was interesting from an architectural point of view! It looked like some parts of Boehringer Ingelheim..so maybe the architect was german..hmmmm.

Anyway after that we went off to the rope...cart? I don't remember the word for it in english. Basically we got in to something similar to a ski lift and went up this mountain. The view was absolutley gorgeous, Fuji san looked beautiful today. Up at the top were many sulphur mines, so everything smelt very eggy. But this was a special place as famous eggs were steamed in these suplhur pits. They come out black, and not so nice smelling but were very nice. Naturally we all had to have some of these eggs. It was really good. Then we went back down and took the pirate ship back to the other side, and the bus back to mishima. On our way everyone got chatting to a drunken osaka dude who thought that one of the girls in our group was beautiful. It made a lot of entertainment for the trip.
