Day 3 - The TOUR to MOUNT FUJI!

Today we went on a tour to Mount Fuji that started at 8:30am.

It started with a
- 2 hr bus ride to the foot of Mount Fuji
- 40 min bus ride to the highest station point on Mount Fuji (2800m)
- 40 min bus ride to lunch, which was great sushi and tea
- We then headed to Lake Aishi and went on a cruise that took us to a gondola that took us up 1300m high and could see Mount Fuji whilst going up.
- After all that we took the bus back to Ginza where we had dinner at a pizza and pasta restaurant, which was surprisingly very good!!! Yum CHEESE.. yes I ate a lot of the 4 cheese pizza!! ha!
- By this time it was about 7pm and we walked around Ginza shops (very up market place) and walked home.. but you can't walk home without going to Maccas and Mos Burger and having drinks and CHEESE BURGERS!!! YUMO!!!

Well here are some photos from the day!


 Our tour guide who was SOO FUNNY because she before every word she would 'um' and 'ah'. So a sentence would sound something like 'Ah, we ah passing ah by um the ah Imperial Garden ah where ah only ah 2 ah people ah live.... ' HA! Anyways I couldn't stop laughing! (yes the pic is blurry!)


First views of Mount Fuji from our bus!
This was at the foot of Mount Fuji - a nice garden/flower/scenic stop.

We reached the highest point the bus could go on Mount Fuji about 2800m high and it was quite cold and windy that mum and Samantha were almost blown away.. literally! HA!


There was this towel that had a Japanese woman on it; read above.. dave pointed this sign out! hehe..



We made some origami Mount Fuji's in the bus; turned out pretty cool!.. hehe look at uncle Pats blue one on the right with the massive whole in the middle.. hehe love it!

This was our lunch.. twas very nice and that flavouring on the rice was great seasoning! YUM!

Ooo WHOA how great is Our God man? That's bliss-ness at it's best!


And whilst in the bus we took some nice pics with Ps. Dave.. ENJOY!
GOTA LOVE IT! Mmmm AAAhhh!!

This was our cruise at Lake Aishi.. twas a 15min cruise but a very nice and relaxing one.. the wind was quite strong as you can tell!


This was the gondola ride up 1300m.. mum never looked out of the gondola..

 Here's a little video of how windy it got up at the gondola.. hehe.. love dad being so happy that it's cool!!

At the bottom of the gondola we shopped at this place with great head wear.. Dave and Min fought it our for best dressed hats.. or animals!
Ps. Dave and U.Pat looking like some sort of thai girls.. hehe.. love Dave's eyes how they aren't straight!
