one-day bus tour to Bousou-hantou (2)

After lunch we went to Tomiura
for picking spring flowers, poppies.

On the way to Tomiura I saw flowers of aloe
for the first time.





Then we enjoyed strawberry-picking.
We were allowed to pick and eat strawberries
for 30 minutes.

To tell the truth, I was afraid of eating strawberries
without washing.





The sea I saw on the shore of Tomiura was a cold winter sea.





On the way back I saw Tokyo Tower from my bus window.



The weather was not good but I did have a nice day.

one-day bus tour to Bousou-hantou (1)

Yesterday Ms Y and I joined a one-day bus tour
to the Bousou Peninsula.

I had expected enjoying spring flowers
and warm spring sunshine.

But the weather was getting worse.
It turned out to be a very, very cold day.
The snow and rain was falling all day long.

First we went to the top of Nokogiri-yama by ropeway.

The summit ought to have given a fine panorama
of Tokyo Bay and the surrounding mountains.

Sorry to say, it didn't.

I went down the mountain to the parking lot
on the side of the hill.
