My Goldens Visit: Days 7-8

For the last part of the trip it was just me and Candace (Diana and Bloss continued onto Taipai).  Since the start of the visit had been so jam-packed, we filled the last part with lazy activities.

We took the train to Enoshima Island for the day.  About 15 minutes after settling down on our beach blanket, Candace was attacked by a hawk!  No lie – a hawk attack!  We were eating Pringles and when Candace was mid-bite a hawk swooped down and took it right out of her hand, resulting in a pretty nasty cut on her nose (not sure if it was from the beak or the claws).  Apparently, hawks are big fans of Pringles (to be fair, who isn’t?!).  After getting cleaned up, we switched spots and put away the Pringles.  Luckily, there were no more hawk attacks and the rest of the day was exactly what a beach day should be – relaxing!

On her last day, we took a train ride up to Hakone.  Hakone is a little resort town that is known for their hot springs.  We tried out one called Yunessun – it had themed hot springs (think sake, red wine, green tea, even corn chowder hot springs).  Even though it was a little silly, it was still worth the trip.  And the train ride to Hakone was beautiful.  We finished off the day with sushi and karoke – clearly how any trip to Japan needs to be ended.

Miss these guys so much already.  Thanks for sticking it out with me and reading through all of our adventures.

I didn't snap as many pictures this time around, but here are a few of our last days...

Coffee break.

Unfortunately we didn't notice this sign earlier!

Nothing beats best friend time at the beach

This was taken during a demonstration in the red wine hot spring.  We thought it best to sit this one out.

Water park fun...

This was definitely odd...
