Last weekend, I was able to briefly re-visit my old stomping ground. It was a great weekend, with lots of relaxing, and falling into the comfort of old routines - like soaking up mountain sunshine, drinking beer on the lawn of the Gotemba Kogen. And it even had something new - our very first visit to the nearby Fuji Safari Park, which turned out to be really good - neither of us had ever seen lions up quite that close before, and they were downright bold, walking right in front of our car, and standing there, blocking our progress!
We were really lucky, actually, as coupons had been given out to Susono citizens a few months ago, so although the usual admittance price is 2,500 yen, we both got in free of charge.
Though we, of course, chose to do the safari in Brian's own car, it is possible to ride the Safari Bus through the park as well, so having a car is not a pre-requisite to going to the Safari Park. We got some good photos, too - albeit through the window glass, as no way was I about to roll it down, even for a second.
