Life "on tour"

24/2/2018

Our hotel is fabulous and in the Japanese style with low rock hard beds 4" off the floor, low tables & dressers & complete with it's own Onsen (hot mineral pools). 
I think I've mentioned the tiny bathrooms before?  To give you a good picture: if you are taller than me (not hard as I'm 1.56m) your knees would almost touch the wall when sitting on the loo.  I can stand in the middle and touch all four walls with my arms outstretched (including the bath).  This pic is taken on a 17mm lens so the wise angle is making it look bigger than it is - note the "bathroom slippers" others are provided for the room as well.
I met the others for our first "Japanese" breakfast - they've been out on the boat since 4.30am. But I took one look at the raw fish, cold scrambled eggs & miso and bolted.  Fortunately for westerners the convenience stores are the backbone of Japanese life and many stock a very good bakery section. (Although it can be a bit of a mission working out what you are buying.) We had stocked up on snacks yesterday for a pre breakfast on the boat & I didn’t go out - so I'm having a raisin Danish, a kiwifruit & a banana. Perfect!

A little Onsen for your feet

Oh what a shame - the wind is strong and has blown the sea ice out too far so this afternoons boat trip is canned. Excellent. 
The snow here is stunning light powder... on the street!

I had no show of lining up the sun with the lighthouse - 10 photogs were all jostling for that spot

    Yes, this is me.
    Most  photogs prefer to be behind the camera and I'm no exception.
    So this pic is rather old having been taken at a Ceroc ball in 2012.
