Destination 4.3.2 : 美瑛 (biei) ー> 拓真館 (takushinkan) ー> 富田 (tomita) ー> 富良野ワイン (furano wain)


July 14th, 2010

woke up arond 5.30am (japan time) for the last お風呂
天華の湯
this tub is somehow nice
cuz mirror (same as previous post) + the view
it's open air bathtub also so early morning
it's kinda cold but hot tub
view of the mountain the tub facing is really nice
full of greenery scenery when having bath
i can say this is the best i've ever had course of the time

Breakfast, buffet in hotel again (typical english+jap breakfast)
before breakfast spent quite a some time packing
(cuz i was spending my time on tv...)
left hotel around 8.30am
but before that, bought something (around RM150 T_T)
they are only tiny stuffs...
the kind of bear i mentioned in previous post

then went to ぜるぶの丘 for flowers garden...
it contain a lot of different kinds of flowers
kinda nice in feeling
took quite a number of photos with "jumping"
didn't buy anything there except lavender ice-cream
(only can taste the lavender a bit)

then went to a see a famous tree somewhere nearby
(famous cuz of honda CM in year 197# forgot the year)
then went to a photo gallery
these photos are just too nice for me to enjoy
(they are just too artistic for me)

then lunch in .... hotel (forgot the name)
it's buffet style again (eng+jap style + melon)
the melon was really high demand
but it did not reach my expectation
(melon imported from korea was better XD)
before leaving the hotel
went into their souvenir shops
and saw something might be nice for souvenirs
(it'll mostly be souvenirs for YOU who's reading my blog)
i don't really know what's that
it's called マリモ you need to breed it so that it'll grow bigger
then saw a kinda nice t-shirt with the "bear" on it
but it cost 1500yen+ (~RM60) kinda expensive okay
so i didn't buy it

after lunch
it's the main highlight of the trip
LAVENDER FARM in Farm Tomita
i wonder it's good or not
the sun came out when we reached there...
(it's freaking hot okay)

started with a farm with a lot of different flowers
other than lavender (i'm not going to mention what are those XP)
then a mountain of flowers... omg omg
it's so so so nice
but too crowded just like disneyland (quarter of it i mean)
the whole area is just too huge
but it's nice to be huge
it'll make u feel like the whole area is only flowers
(something sad is that, we couldn't get into the field)
but i really enjoyed the feel there
(it's proven that not only old people like these)

then drank lavender smoothies and bought lavender ramune...
it's time to shopping after enjoying the flowers

my sis and i bought a lot of stuffs there (AGAIN...)
everything is in lavender ... (kinda scary)
and i bought a mailing box of dried flowers
planned to send to host family in hyogo...
then found out can pay extra 120yen to have the delivery service included...

then bought some cookies for relatives...
(most suitable gifts for aunties & uncles + grannies)

followed by 富良野ワイン it's something similar to the sake museum
but this time is wine
of course there's tester again
3 wines to be tested + lavender wine
i'm not a fan of wine (so i like neither of them)
i tried the juice also, it's really nice
it's kind of sourly sweet
i tried 2 tiny cup (only limited 1 per pax XD)
bought nothing but wine cheese
(i kept it in the fridge, hope will remember to take it out)

then took around 1.5 hours of ride to the hotel
reached the hotel and went to お風呂 right away
cuz not much time (everything got closing time)

took around 2 mins of shutter bus to the area for sport...
when enter the place
it's kinda grand OMG OMG (i should bring along my camera)
it's a pool with wave (sunway lagoon type)
indoor with very very very high transparent ceiling
more like a sport complex... (it's really nice okay)

entered the お風呂
locker with password lock... (better technology here)
this お風呂 is equipped with relax area, sauna, indoor bathtub (freezing) + outdoor
the outdoor is somehow different from what i went before
marbles wall and floor, with a small hiding area (LED lights in the tub)
this is somehow the most "CLASSY" bathtub i guess...
just like how's the area looks

then back for dinner
dinner with vouchers of 3600yen
ordered a 7 colored seafood rice with 25% alcohol
my sis ordered ikura+kani rice (she gave me the ikura...)
then there's still some credit left... ordered melon AGAIN...

now...
i'm in the hotel lobby updating everything i left
since i couldn't online yesterday
at least now i can (in the lobby not room)
i guess i've finished writing what happened today
i have to continue my official work after this...
and back to room watching tv XD
