23 Sept 2006
Since we didn't get to hike that day (I mean 18th Sept as it was raining cats & dogs so it was changed to the potluck party), Mrs Takahashi invited me to hike on Autumn Equinox Day instead. I was really looking forward to it because I heard Mount Hakkoda is very beautiful! Wade came along as Mrs Takahashi said I can invite anybody else who is
interested to come.Mrs Takahashi came to pick us up at my house at 94oam, then her husband drove all the way to a cable car place where we had to take a skyrail up Mt Hakkoda. The view was breath-taking! We stopped for lunch at a really scenic place at Mt Hakkoda. Mr Takahashi owns a shop selling outdoor sports wear & equipment so he came prepared with a small gas burner & kettle, so we could have instant cup noodles for lunch. The scenery was
beautiful! Some leaves have already started 
changing colours... How nice... I will never get to see this in Singapore. A pity we did not have the time, if not we could have hiked even further...We left Mt Hakkoda ard late afternoon, drove past Oirase Gorge & Lake Towada and headed
towards Christ's Tomb. Didn't know we were going to that place but well since today's schedule was planned by the Takahashis, I'll just go along with it. Saw the fake tomb and just read the fable for fun.By the time we got home, it was evening time. Well, I'm glad I didn't miss this outing! It was really enjoyable! The Takahashis are really hospitable... Always so willing to invite us for any outings... and always offering to drive us.. Such nice folks :)
