... wind. Mark was wearing shorts. Will be zero at the Mt? We are now in the bus going there, will see.
Arrived at Mt Fuji, the 5th step (total of 9 steps). very foggy, windy and cold. Sooo foggy that the top of the Mt was fully covered. So we walked around in the shops, the food was good though, corn and Mt Fuji cake (must try).

Fuji souvenir one could imagine, complete with hats, socks, keychains, walking sticks, post cards, plates, socks, Mt. Fuji plush toys, and even our Lady Mt. Fuji figurines á la lady of Guadeloupe.
