The Phone Call
I can still remember the phone call that woke me up in my hotel room just past midnight on the fourth of January. The screeching sound of the phone still haunts me to this day.

Urabandai – Mountains, Lakes, and Fall Color

Baindai Plateu
... Regen vorausgesagt.
Als wir am Morgen aufstehen, und mit Morgen ist am frühen Morgen gemeint, denn Frühstück ist bereits um 7:30, ist von schlechtem Wetter keine Spur. Frisch gestärkt nach dem japanischen Frühstück (Rührei, Reis, Fleischbällchen, Miso-Suppe) durchwandern wir das Plateau, das ebenfalls durch den Vulkanausbruch entstanden ist.
