Driving back to Abiko City, Japan

It's time for us to leave the "Swiss Alps" of Japan and it's famous onsens.

This morning, we drive up Mt. Hakone whereas yesterday we took the tram up the mountain.

We took one last walk around Mt. Hakone and managed to get a couple of good photos of Mt. Fuji.  A couple of minutes later and Mt. Fuji was covered in clouds so our timing was perfect.

We drive for about 45 minutes or so to a location where Tsu drops me off with Mr. and Mrs. Tsugawa.  We three are going to sail across this lake while Tsu drives around the lake to pick us up on the other side.

Good wishes tied on awaiting the wind to carry them away.

We stop at a very nice restaurant for lunch:

We drive back through Tokyo.  It seemed like we got home a lot faster than what it took us to get out to Mt. Hanoke.

Tsu and I go out for a drive - close to the neighbourhood.

We went out for dinner - just across the street from Tsu's house.

They asked, do you eat shrimp?
I do but not with the head & tail on it!
But I did, all the while telling myself "just pretend they're potato chips, they're just potato chips!"
