By now we're all settled back in again after our trip to Japan, and we've dealt with Christmas and New Year. I just thought I should share some photos of what we were up to for a month in November.
Some of the artwork that was printed by Sean Kavanagh, we were the most professional looking National team as far as vehicle artwork was concerned!
This was the view from our bedroom window at Asahidake-Onsen, in the mountains of Hokkaido. The snow did melt by the time our few days there were up, but it looked like a magical fairytale for a while...
This is Maaike looking rather cold on one of our walks through the village, note the steam coming off the creek, it's all hot water!
We went for a walk up to the volcano. Because the paths were hollowed out and the snow was melting, they were like running streams. So we decided to follow the bear prints up the mountain. At least they were pointing in the opposite direction!
Paul standing next to a fumarole, busily fuming away. The smell... No wonder the bears didn't try to eat us, we must have smelt like a couple of matchsticks after all that.
Interesting intersections at Motegi. Try to determine the centre of this one.
Mizuho quite liked the attitude of 'Team Ed' (Edwin Michell) and got right into it. This is them at Haga Town Hall, before afternoon briefing. Mind you, they stayed there like that during briefing as well.
Finally, this was team Gibbs, all sporting the bandanna given to us by our last and best volunteer Motegi crew member. From left to right, Deano, Mizuho, Paul, Maaike and Ryan. The 'Dangerous Australians'.
