Climbing Mt. Fuji

Last weekend I got to check a major thing off my Japan list - climbing Mt. Fuji!Everyone I talked to before going said it was not so interesting a mountain and definitely not worth a second trip, but I disagree. Since we didn't actually make it to the top, I may have to plan a revenge trip and conquer her once and for all.

Instead of recounting every detail, I'll give you some haikus.

Blue peak dipped in clouds

Tow'ring above the mountains

From a bus window

Wind screaming outside

Ten thousand feet in the air

Buried in blankets

Pebbles blowing wild

Lights bobbing in the darkness

A sky full of stars

Standing on a cloud

Friends cheering the morning on

Peekaboo sunrise

Battling car sickness

A connoiseur of rest stops

10 hours of transit
