And so our final day in Kawaguchiko comes to a close. Station 5 was a madhouse this morning, absolutely crammed with people, but we got our final bits of shopping done and were back around lunchtime.
Did not do the onsen thing, as neither of us seemed to have the required energy nor inclination. Besides, it was a terribly hot day to spend soaking in a hot bath. So instead, we watched wacky Japanese TV, which included Pokemon (which you really haven't experienced until you've heard it in the original Queen's Japanese), and footage of karate tests where teenagers hit one another repeatedly and break bits of wood. Keeps them off the streets, I suppose.
Oh, and Hiro, our guesthouse proprietor, took a photo of us before dinner this evening. Apparently we're going to be featured on his website in the near future. Let's all hope he was talking about the hotel website, not some shady side-project of his....
And tomorrow is the trip home! Going to be a very long day, but it'll be lovely to be in Oregon once more. Everyone take care of yourselves, and we'll do our best to stop the flight attendants from tossing us into the Pacific. Cheers!
