Mount Fuji: The bit after the beginning

Phew! sorry for the delay, had a few problems with blogger.

So we caught the bus from Shinjuku to Station 5 of Mount Fuji. On the way we were entertained by the staff with a competition on Mt Fuji, Relojapan and HR consultants and HOPE. To say that the points awarding was biased and floored is an understatement and the righthand side of the bus were clearly robbed - I say this not only because I happened to be sitting on the righthand side.

Perhaps I should have mentioned before that we are also climbing the mountain at night so we can see the sun rise (this is also why I bought a head lamp) so we arived about 8ish. Here I am in my climbing 'get up' - this is not, as has been suggested, a balloon with my face on it.
