北海道 その10 - 日高 → 洞爺湖 / Hokkaido Trip 10 - Hidaka → Lake Toya
2007年 09月 21日
The last breakfast at Hidaka.
I love this, Ishii's instant hamburger!
Visiting stables and horses again. Islay and I stayed in the car to wait and rest.
Famous retired race horse.
The photos may not be in order! The stables and the horses might not be as in the order of the photos! Getting confused, having 3 cameras used for the horses.
Back to Lake Toya. Checked in, and let Islay rest at the hotel, while only the humans went around. First, Mejiro Stable.
Neigh! Flehmen.
The islands in Lake Toya reminds me of the boa consticter that swallowed the elephant, in the Little Prince.
Windsor hotel, where the Summit will be held. But can't go near by car, they'll stop you, and the old man stopping the car was so damn rude, couldn't care less about Windsor hotel now. No matter how high class the hotel may be, if they're gonna hire such rude people, the impression of the hotel goes way way down....
Hotel Sansui is far better than Windsor! The people are so friendly too! Islay got all excited, coz it's her 2nd time here! This time, we stayed at a smaller room, but nice enough.
Dinner! Yummy, plentiful, wonderful!
Since the owners are having steak, doggy steak for Islay as well! Thanks Pat!
But Islay wouldn't stay away from my steak! She knows I don't eat the oily part of the meat (the fat), and she's waiting for it!
Droool! Islay did get to eat the steak after all! I am the one making Islay a fussy eater!
Since I ate so much, something good for my stomach!
And it came with a cute toy! (Mmm, did you really want the drink, or you wanted the toy!?)

つづくー!
Islay was all tired out and slept well again! As for the owners, we soaked in the onsen, and slept well, to get ready for the long drive ahead!
