Episode 239 - The String that Drew us Back (Part 2)




Our 2003 Hokkaido trip, from which we brought back so many lovely memories, was the motivating force behind our decision to start the recent journey.  

Revisiting a place is like taking certain "emotional risks".  Any change in circumstances, whether in weather, traffic, food or personnel involved, might upset a re-visitor's established image of his "holy-land".

We took that risk nevertheless. 

The above are photos of those places where we put our steps on once again. They are Lake Mashū, Sulphur Hill and the Lake Ashoro Roadside Rest Area.  They were even more attractive than we were there in 2003.

The cakes of the confectionery shops at Obihiro, which I do not have a photo here, were still yummy!
