Welcome to part two of my travels! I ran out of memory on my first blog but you can visit my old post here: http://www.wherewillmyfeettakemenext.blogspot.kr/

I love to travel and have a bucket list of countries I want to visit. On the top of my list currently are India, the USA, Cambodia, Peru and New Zealand (because I love Lord of the Rings haha).

I love taking photos so expect a lot of photos in my blogs!

Hakone, Japan

Hakone, Japan
I went on a day trip to Hakone whilst I was living in Japan. I really enjoyed it there. It was nice to see some green after being surrounded by buildings for so long. Normally people go here over night to enjoy the hot springs, but at the time I wasn't used to getting naked in front of strangers. I really regret not going to a natural Japanese hot spring now. Perhaps in the future I will go back.

Mount Fuji-san
To get around Hakone you need to pay to use a few forms of transport. We first went on an uphill tram. It was really strange. I went on a similar one in Wales and I can never get used to them. We then went on to a cable car that took us over the sulfur mines. The whole area smells of rotten eggs. Lastly, we took a boat across the lake where there were buses going back towards Tokyo.

My favourite thing has to be the views of mount Fuji. On a clear day you can get excellent pictures. I took some good ones even though my camera was soooo old.
