autumn hokkaido 北海道的秋 2005 - room 1422

woke up early though 7 am was the morning call.
as much as i would like to dip in the hotspring,
still gave up the chance.
for the first time, left the room key in the room,
only realising it when i reached the ground floor.
wonder how could one remember the key which was
in the slot of the small table between two beds.
it was a day of long hours travelling.
stop over at a lavender farm, though the lavender season was over,
to be able to taste the lavender flavoured ice cream was more than enough to compensate.
the familiar ginga falls 银河之瀑布 and ryusei falls 流星瀑布
brought back memories of 2003 winter when there was nothing but world of white with falling snow.
had the opportunity to climb to the top which took us almost 20 min.
everything was fine till mum felt a little uncomfortable.

the hotel was near to the one which i stayed before.
managed to get the adults to try the hotspring, the ladies were brave enough to try while only one dad out of the three families did.
we were supposed to dressed in the japanese clothes, upon seeing some didn't,
our dads immediately went to change back.
i guess what happend during the second world war would never
change the mind sets of this two old men.
