Started out the day with a run through Hell Valley, up the mountain visiting a few tourist stops and back again. Almost no people so early in the morning.

Back at te ryokan I showered and marinated in sulfuric water until my soar muscles became jelly. Then it was time for breakfast.

The rest of the day we spent relaxing in our room or in a hot tub. My favorite place was in the onsen on the 5th floor, just under the roof top. Very relaxing.

But the outdoor bath in the garden was pretty nice too. Next to the pond I was soaking in were some really tasty looking fishes. Maybe dinner?

Dinner was, again, superb. And big. After this much work we desrve a good night’s sleep 😉
