Ahhh too many shrines i think..
Well the rain cleared up yesterday and i took a brief walk around the old shrines and temples of Nikko, very beautiful. They are in a woodland forest on the side of a mountain surrounded by big rock walls and paths and well i cant explain it very well but trust me some of the sites are epic.And some of the forest paths are so ancient japanese-like I thought for a moment i was in a set of Monkey Magic, ready for a pack of "Deamons!" to jump out at me, some cool music to start playing and me having to fight them to the death.. but this did not happen.
Went for a bit of a walk today, set out at 9am and just getting back now (2:30) so you would be semi pround of my walking efforts Mum, but nothing compared to what i shall be challenging in a few days..
And with all this walking I have finally gotten into the onsens.. these big 40+ degree baths that you sit in and just see how long you can last before having to jump out, have a cold shower and jump back in agiain.. Actually they are really good for relaxing and rejuvinating tired muscles.
So I think the next city on my quest will be fuji. Yes, this is a little town which sits at the bottom of Mount Fuji, better known as "Fuji-san". And yes you guessed correctly I will have to climb it. Not all the way from the bottom, as this can take a long time, but I think Ill do the cheat way and start from half way up the mountain....
Oh and ive found the cheapest way to eat yet. I dont know what they're called but they are like sushi rolls except they are triangles and slightly bigger than your average sushi roll back home. And not only do these things contain your carbs (rice), greens (seaweed) and other(random bit of stuff in the middle), but they are only 105yen each, which is super cheap. (about $1.20).
(They are the things that Alex Kidd eats when he finishes a level.)

Was talking to Jules today, remember when we drove past him on his bike on x'mas day (and played queen's i want to ride my bicycle really loud), can you please confirm that he was smoking a cigarette whilst riding? He claims he wasnt smoking. Im sure i'm right.
Todays Japanese -> English riddle:
I think that we would like to ride in my bicycle we would like to ride in my my motorcycle. I being the place where I like, think that we would like to ride in my bicycle we would like to ride in my that.
It is indeed Queen lyrics.
Hi Glenn,
Yes, I thought it looked like a hamburger too, but it could have been sushi in the shape of a hamburger.
Your travels sound great, I can just imagine you on one of those Monkey Magic sets. And what's this getting up before 9am, doesn't sound like you at all!
