Hearty breakfast to start off the day; and this time, is on the house. View from our room. Great weather! A short walk from hotel to Gora for the Ropeway ride. Ropeway inclusive in the 2 days Hakone Pass Pirate Cruise. And of course, mum with her bags again. And the famous outdoor onsen. Has a fruity odor. Not intoxicating. Green tea. Don't quite like the smell. Much prefer the wine Hot sake follow by charcoal for detox Finally clear water to wash off .... Oh wait, don't forget the coffee. Piping hot too. ........

And Steven, you guess it so right, she decided to join us after hearing about our trip but could not get a seat on the same flight. You so smart. Flight delayed and long queue in custom. Took us over 2 hours to get thru.. But was great to have your personal limo waiting outside when u get out. And pardon this first time blogger, never thought of taking photos of the pickup and Hotel Grand Palace. See now I know why Shirin is taking photos all the time. Well, but at least I've photos of ...
