Adam reporting:
It's about 3:30 local time, on the afternoon of the 16th. I'm sitting in the lounge of the hostel at which we're staying. Drug experimentation went well...so now our blood is more acidic (just like in Alien!) and we're ready for the climb? Right?
This morning we woke up at 6:00, and had a lovely breakfast at La Florida, the hotel's restaurant. Bob and I had omlettes, while Steve did the buffet. He went twice, each time coming back with a plate full of little Japanese oddities. After that, it was a day of buses. Bus from the hotel back to the airport, then from the airport to Tokyo's massive Shinjuku Train Station, and then (after a bit of confusion) on a bus out here to Kawaguchiko, which is a small touristy town.
We have a traditional Japanese room...and as we all know, shoguns knew nothing about air conditioning. Or how to get the smell of old fish out of their living quarters. Really, it's not so bad though. Steve's taken pictures, so we'll get that uploaded soon (when we offload our pictures). Bob's up there taking a nap right now. Lunch was at Mo's Burger, which I don't think we ever need to try again. Steve accidentally ordered something with beef. (He thought it was rice cake, but that meant it was a burger with a rice cake bun.)
So now we rest, and tomorrow we try to take on the mountain!
