Fuji-San!

Well, it's a beautiful morning in Kawaguchiko, a nice little town at the foot of Mount Fuji! Much, much better than yesterday. Yesterday sucked- I had to find the Design Festa Gallery so I could buy tickets to the Design Festa, the largest art show in Asia. It was shitty and rainy all day and I had all of my luggage with me the entire time, since I had to get the ticket on the way to the bus station to leave for here, Kawaguchiko. It was really busy with shopping folk and I was hot, sweaty, wet, tired etc. Not much fun. Then, arriving at Fuji-yama around 15:00, it was still shitty and Fuji was entirely hidden behind the clouds. I rented a bicycle as soon as I got here and tried to ride as far as I could, to see if I could manage some sort of view. Nope- just rainy, wet and cold. The weather predictions for today were the same, but praise Allah! Clear skies!

I have to get going, because I'm taking the bus to the fifth station! Hopefully I'll have some good shots of Fuji!
