北海道 Day 2

Snow mobilesIt's cold nuff said =xTime to start the engines with this.

Snow mobiles come in 2 types, single n double. 10000 yen 1hr for single and 15000 1hr for double. So we took a double snow mobile and proceeded to follow the guide. Fyi, navigating the snow mobile requires no special skills what so ever, u just need your thumb to increase n slow down the machine as well some sense of judgement when making turns.
So after driving 1/2 the journey, we stopped atop this huge snow field to take photos.
the snow was abt 6cm deep, so basically we tried to walked in the footsteps others have taken.

You want a snowfight?! here is one!

hmm...where is the snowman?! strangeeee

So after which we took the snowmobile back with dear driving back this time...as she drove down the slope she speed up to my horror and also sped up during the turning points lol.. i was telling her to slow down when turning and after a while i gave up lol its nice to have fun once in a while yea :D

Hakodate Volcano

We took a cable car up this dead volcano and the scenery from a bird eye's view is breath taking. I think even the pictures cannot do justice do what we see.

Upon reaching the top we proceeded to take photos :D

Christmas Tree!!
Snow capped Volcano

After which we proceeded to the base of the volcano for lunch, at the same time to do some shopping near the bear ranch located there. some random musings here

Freaking big n juicy apples!!!

I doubt u will find such apples in singapore and at 330 yen they are a steal!
Now comes the pain..4 hours bus journey to our next destination!

random shot along the way :P

Sea food market

As we visited this sea food market at night, the number of people is generally lesser thus allowing us to get some shots in here and there.
