Up North

    Now that my preliminary science experiment was a success. It's time to begin. I'm starting to get the hang of this and getting back in The Game.

Once again we bagged up our junk plus a little more so that we can take the Shin as far as we can to Hokkaido.

Holly's sister was nice and sent us these British treats that came just in the nic-of-time as we were headed out the door. 

First time seeing a double decker Shin. It wasn't our lot to ride one though, unfortunately.

We're bringing a lot of our own food we prepared from home. One of the items is this delicious banana bread that HQC made. She even snuck in chocolate bars in it. so good. Glad there are still four more loaves.

She was a "sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy mushroom".

As promised, here is a video of the Shin roaring by. If you look closely you can see the lightning coming from it. I asked The Asian Quay the other day what she would choose to control, Lightning, Fire, or Water. She picked Water. I picked Lightning. Because imagine all my enemies I could strike down. Just like the emperor. 

After a day of Shins we stayed in Hakodate. The next day was full of Local Trains until we arrived in Wakkanai. Rated R.
