This week has been great! There were trips to Noboribetsu to see family and Jigokudani, Hell Valley, and the boys are home. Doing a little sightseeing in the place you are actually from is always a good idea, eh!? Then there was also Otaru this week and a surprise in seeing the Japanese training boat the Kaiwo Maru. One of my favourite rides, that I make sure to do every year, the Gokibiru bike'n'hike got done as well. Being out in nature is the best. Cycling aside, one of my favourite things to do during summer vacation is to get a summer movie in with my boys. F1 on ScreenX did NOT disappoint....that was AWESOME!! We've still got a bit of time left in summer holidays. Have fun out there, folks. Summer on!!
