Camping near Fuji

Looking OutWe all went away for a two night break – in the midst of the sweltering summer – to enjoy the great outdoors at the foothills of Fuji-san.

It was the first move into an outdoor adventure for both Rina and Emma. They enjoyed the tent and the idea of being in a tent, on the first night. By the time that night two had rolled around – Rina was asking to be back in the big smoke. She had enough of the outdoor life.

Emma heading offEmma had reached the same point as Rina as well – she was packing her bags and heading off on her own. Though the opposite always occurs if mum or dad are out of Emma’s sight – she cries until they arrive back in her view.

Both Rina and Emma seemed to enjoy the time – and the novelty of being outside (apart from their desire to be out of the camp ground on the first morning).

Getting away from Tokyo was good as always – and staying near Fuji san… well it could have been anywhere really. The views of the mountain were not visible from the camp ground.

We may have found a new hobby to enjoy on the weekends and when there is some time off.
