It's Christmas time

At night Chinatown is full of beautiful celebration images. Here is just a few from the temple.

oh, ho ho ho

It feels like Christmas in Motomachi. The young girls that played these bells were awesome. Stunning sound. And it's getting cold.

Love the weekend

Yesterday (Saturday) did 75 km on the touring bike.

Today (Sunday) another gloriously sunny day in Yokohama. Did 73 km today on the roadie just to be fair and it's all good training for Sri Lanka next week!!!

thank you.

Bike training

Gloriously sunny day. 75km bike ride this morning, training for Sri Lanka next weekend!!!
Off to Sri Lanka for 3 weeks with the bike and panniers, that's about all I know!
Haven't had time to figure which direction to turn once I leave the airport.
However I did have a good friend inform me that I will not be circumnavigating the island due to Tamil Tigers, take no prisoners!!!
Will bask in the sunroom and read the lonely planet.

Sunday 5th Dec

Each morning I check Mt Fuji - yep it's still there - and looking stunning as ever!!!


Ran the 10km Yokohama Charity fun run. Gloriously sunny day. Lots and lots of runners.
Got the t-Shirt and the medal to prove it but no pics!!!
Keep training, not for the Tokyo Marathon but just to keep the balance in my life.
Spending hours in my sunroom day and night.
During the day I feel like a happy cat and in the evening the candles and incense make me feel like I'm on holidays.

Sunroom and mountains!!!

Hey from my Acty sunroom I can see Mt Fuji - awesome!!!



Fuji was looking stunning in the morning sunlight.
