Japan Day 4

We stayed at the Sapporo Aspen Hotel


Sapporo Aspen is very close to the JR Station!!!

 

You just walk across the road (2 traffic lights) in the cold!!! and soon you will reach Sapporo Station

 Inside the station there is a veritable metropolis of shopping outlets, malls, eateries, cafes, always happening, always bustling with the locals who always seem to have someplace to go to

Here's Jessica in front of the APIA, never heard of it? well, soon APIA might be trending in Asia

 we have bought our tickets...today we plan to visit OTARU

 on reaching Otaru, we walk on cobbled roads in the sunshine and nippy weather, bracing and refreshing

 we clown around the railway tracks after some students left after taking photos there, we are a bunch of copy cats

 Jess on the tracks

Doris the poser

 

 me with batwing sleeves

 tulips are everywhere, this one is yellow

 

Otaru's main attraction is the canal

you can take a cruise down the canal

these are the ones who did not go on the cruise
 

 do you know what they are doing? YES!!! choosing lunch! 

 

 Lunch is three types of sashimi with rice

 look at us! Always feasting!

 this is our lunch place

 after lunch we just sat around and chilled out

 

On the way back we found a pot of lavendar...
