Shane conquered the mighty Rishiri mountain today. We were all up at 5.30 (not hard since it's light at 4 and everyone else seems to be up and off by 6am).
He was gone by 6.30 and Elsie and I settled in for a relaxing (and long) day of play. It was hot so we played with toys and bowls of water, got ice cream and walked through the shady cool bush.
Shane motored up the mountain in about 3.5 hours (half the time in the guide) and was back by 2.30pm. He hadn't required the compulsory 400 yen ($5) "poo bag" so passed it onto someone climbing tomorrow. One expensive poo that would be.
We all headed over to the swimming pool at the onsen (that I only just found out about). Elsie had a wonderful hour of swimming play and it reminded me how much I miss our Tuesday swims. She quickly remembered all her old tricks though and proudly told Dad all about them.
Everyone a bit tired so we went into town for dinner (a bit early so we had to grab some cold drinks and sit in the sun on the foreshore and wait til 6pm). Delicious Yakitori, Yakisoba and a seafood dish. Very tasty.
