Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... on board kept ooing and ahhing throughout the entire ride. "See-goy" that's what they kept saying. My best guess is it probably means wow or awesome or may be it meant look at that scared little Canadian boy pee himself. The best word to describe the last couple of days is probably bone-chilling. We got fooled by the temperatures in Tokyo and thought since Nikko is only a couple of hours away the weather should be similar. Maybe mid 20's during the day and 10ish ...

Day trip to Nikko
... was significantly cooler and less humid than Tokyo, which was much appreciated given the hot stickiness of the last few days.
First I took the bus from Nikko station (which resembled a Swiss ski lodge) up to lake Chuzenji. The lake was stunning, set against the backdrop of beautiful mountains.
