We woke up this morning to falling snow and at least 30cm of fresh snow blanketing everything. After breakfast we walked down to the post office to post some postcards, it was hard work walking through the snow as you had no idea where you were putting your feet.
When we got back from the post office we hit the slopes for a challenging day of powder skiing. I lasted a whole 2 runs unfortunately, after the walk this morning and not sleeping well the night before I was pooped to ski properly and had a fall also where I hit my head and bumped my shoulder badly so I packed it in for the day and went exploring.
I went over to the other side of the resort and had a look around the Craft Village, which had about 10 small wooden shops selling all sort of things like Glass wear, handmade paper goods, wooden ornaments, candles, metal goods. Lots of lovely things not enough money to buy some of each though. I bought some postcards and book marks from the handmade paper shop.
Tom stayed out boarding for the rest of the day and came home exhausted and is now napping on the bed.
We walked into Furano Township for dinner and thought we had found the place where we wanted to go but we got lost and to make things harder there are hardly any street signs around to help you find your bearings.
We found a place called Torisei, which did charcoal chicken. We got charcoal chicken and plain fried chicken which was done in an almost tempura style coating. Both of these were delicious and the sauce they served with matched perfectly.
But it wasn’t enough to fill our tummy’s so we went to McDonalds on the way home and when we left there the fog had dropped and also the temperature to -16deg…bitterly cold that is!! So we had a very fast walk home.
