Slept OK but not enough. There were four of us in the room and according to the ENT, three of us snored. He might snore as well but no one else was officially checking. The one of us who was actually drinking had a CPAP but he took it off in the middle of the night and it started whirring like a a jet fan. His brother tried to wake him up and I saw him hitting his brother on the head. No response. I thought he might’ve died but since I’m not the doctor, I went back to sleep. Then, without the CPAP, the snoring was incredible. Fortunately the Bose SleepBuds worked pretty well! The worst part is that we only got about 6 hours before everyone got up and hit the onsen bath again.

The breakfast buffet had a lot of food and here’s what I grabbed. I did not get any dessert but I did have half of a waffle later on and a small bowl of Himi udon (thin udon which was better than I expected).

Then it was back to Mrs. Kawasaki’s for lunch. Here’s most of the haul from the Favoré grocery store and German bakery. There was a lot of bread!

On the way back we stopped by one of the “kid’s” houses (they’re all my age) and I took a picture of her husband’s kei truck. He has a standard plate. I guess if you pay extra you can get a non-yellow plate for a small truck. It’s one of the small trucks with an extended cab.

Most of the afternoon was on the highway. I checked into the Hotel Global View where I’ve stayed before. It’s pretty nice but a little odd.

After all that food I just wanted something simple. There’s a Mos Burger in the bus center attached to the train station! Excitement too. They brought me that ginger ale on a tray and they spilled the first one all over. Fortunately it only got a little bit on my shoes. They were very apologetic as I left. I was saying, “It happens.” What I meant is, “I usually spill it myself.”

Finally, here’s a picture of why we need an extra bag on the way back. Presents!
