This was the view from our room this morning!! Glorious sunshine but it didn't last for long as it began to snow lightly and kept up most of the day.
This was our breakfast this morning.. eggs,Sausages, potato salad and pasta with pesto ( I think)After breakfast we came up to the room to think and we ended up having a nap for a couple of hours..the joys of having no plans!!
After we woke up, we both thought doing something physical would be a good idea and so we got all the ski/ snowboard gear on and went out for some snow time...not many photos as the wind was quite strong and not real photo taking weather.
The first run in my boots that have recently been adjusted as I was getting nerve damage in my feet was lets says interesting!! I thought my feet were going to fall off and the pain was a bit much, but after a few more runs and slight adjustments they feel so much better and I hope that each run will keep on getting better!
After a few hours we decided it was time to come inside as the weather looked very threatening, so we had a hot bath and felt a lot warmer and relaxed.
For this evening actvities we chose to go up to the Tourist Information Centre where they had a Local Cultural Night showcasing some local talent. The meals were "snacky" in nature but yummy.
There were 2 different groups performing, firstly the dance troupe made up of a few children and some adults performing different dances for Good Health and Good Harvests. They also had a dragon performing and afterwards it "bit" everyone on the head for Good Health!!
A duo then performed some traditional & popular songs the Guitar & Bamboo Flute which sounds a little like a pan flute.
They also had free hand painting on offer so I got mine painted and the artist even wrote my name in Japanese for me.....
On the way home we found an Igloo that had several rooms and snow scupltures in it...it was -10 inside!! and a few degrees cooler outside, brrr
Tomorow we are off to Sapporo to the Snow & Ice Festival which should be a great day!!
