Day 9 Kobe

Jumped to day 9 Kobe. Explored Kobe on our own without Charlie today. Didn't encounter any problem.

Backtrack to Fuji. The trip to Mt. Fuji was great. The 1hr 50min bus ride to Mt. Fuji was surprisingly comfortable. Even though it rained everyday we were there. We couldn't even see Mt. Fuji until the very last day and we were at the Kawaguchiko bus station that we saw parts of it. There weren't many foreign tourist like us walking around in the rain there. We actually thought that the place would be crowded with tourist. But the places of interest was mostly visited by the locals from other parts of the country. We went to the Lava Cave. We thought that it will be warmer inside like Ngilgi Cave in Perth WA but the Lava Cave was freezing cold! It was also called the Icicle Cave. We were not prepared for it. My phone died from extreme cold. I am not even kidding!

The 5hr bus ride to Kobe is so uncomfortable and it seemed like they stopped every hour at bus stations. We took the Sakura bus, they did provide us with a blanket each and the chair reclined. But the padding is so hard and chair is too small. We visited a couple of interesting places as well but i will get back to it when i'm back in KL. I am currently typing with my phone.

Anyway, we will be heading to Kyoto tomorrow for a 2 nights stay. I am preparing myself mentally because i am predicting that it is going to be a very tiring day.
