Day 04 – 14 May 2007 (Monday)

Time flies, it is already the 4th day of our trip. Same as Day 3, we rose and shone at 0600hrs and had a typical international breakfast at the hotel before we departed for Mount Fuji!!!! As the trip was rather long, we had to stop by a Japanese Restaurant for lunch before we reached Mount Fuji.



Reached Mount Fuji around 1330hrs (we traveled on the road for more than 5 hours!) We could only drive up to the 5th stop of Mount Fuji and it was already rather cold at the 5th stop. Goodness gracious me, if we were allowed to travel all the way up? Haha… Think we would have to bring winter clothings! It was a picturesque scene up there at Mount Fuji.





After descending Mount Fuji, we had a short shopping trip at Bell Shopping Centre and had a short visit at this crystal shop. Did not buy anything, coz I believe that when you go overseas, your motive is not to spend money on these so-called crystals and diamonds and jewellery. Anyway we had an early check in this day – Hotel New Century located at Lake Kawaguchi (Room A202). The view from our room was Mount Fuji! Totally awesome!



We had a sashimi dinner, and everyone was dressed in the Yukata!





After a sumptuous dinner of super fresh sashimi, we rested for around 30 minutes then went for our Hot Spring! Guys one room, and ladies have their own room. But everyone has to be stark naked! It was very embarrassing initially, but after a while, we sort of got used to it and began talking and laughing. After a relaxing hot spring bath, we gathered at our tour leader – William’s room and enjoyed Asahi beer and sake before we retreated back to our rooms for a very comfortable night’s sleep in the tatamis.
