1045th Entry
Day 3 - 26 June 2008 - Hakone
Being adventurous in planning the itinerary, we decided to head out of Tokyo and into Hakone! It's a 2 hours train ride and I had motion sickness again. But, it was a worthwhile trip!!

It's super cold when we alighted from the tram ride.

This is Gora. The terminal station of the tram ride.

Then we have to take this ropeway tram uphill.

The whole capsule is for us! It's so big that it can accomodate 18 pax.

Then switch to a ferry ride to the interchange.


It was a pity that we didn't get to view Mt Fuji onboard the ferry. :(

Totally different taste. Prefer local salty flavor.

And with that, we had a very good sleep at night. The hot spring bath was fantastic! My skin felt smoother for a few days!
