Northbound!

I finally went to Hokkaidou!

I got up 6:30 this morning, went to the station with Yosuke.

I said my thanks and farewell and got on the train.

I spent the whole day on the train, but thanks to this I experienced both the Bullet train and an undersea tunnel.

I ate Gyuumeshi (beef, rice and some side bits) - it certainly wasn't cheap, though.

I spent my time on the trains writing blog drafts and reading a bit of Hoshi Shinichi's 

short novel "Beyond the Slide".

I met the WWOOF host (hereon R-san) at Niseko station fine. He's a kind and interresting person.

R-san's wife and teh other WWOOFers are also really nice, and I'm looking forward to the rest of my stay.

Dinner was a venison pot roast with potatoes and other veg, it was delicious.
