Phoebe dropped at ski school.
H & F went off.
Far side of gondola was a beautiful run.
Eventually caught up with Henry's friends at a Cafe very high up. Very nice hot choc muffin and a coffee.
This is the record of where H & F travelled.
PHOEBE LUNCH
Today i experienced my first Onsen. A traditional Japanese bathhouse. Stepping into the first room, I found a basket for my belongings. Sliding a door across, I entered a spacious second tiled room. A large square tank on one side held hot water, inviting me to take a dip. A step down submerged me in liquid warmth. Small stools lined the left and right, perfect for washing my body before entering the bath. Washing and rinsing thoroughly is requested. so I settled on a stool, relaxing and hosing myself down. This sensible bathing method, unlike standing, was far more enjoyable. After washing and rinsing, I stepped into the hot water, letting it soothe my muscles after a day of snow. I lingered until I could bear it, each muscle relaxing. Then I returned to my stool, washed again, and savoured the calming, gentle flow of water from head to toe. Time passed slowly. It was a serene and peaceful experience. I highly recommend an onsen.
Frank:
Henry and I had an Onsen at the same time. The Onsen is segregated by gender. They are done nude.
First room had baskets to hold our belongings. We stripped. Went into second room. Sit down and wash with liquid soap and rinse. Step into the hot tub. It's was very hot. Sat on the step with just my legs in the hot water. Eventually I lowered my body into the hot water. Did that a couple of times. After that, H&F had a rinse off then got towels and got into the sauna. Sweatted profusely. Eventually out for another rinse. Put the bath robe on.
