Hokkaido July 2010 Trip - Day 8 - Furano the city of Lavender
When to Furano on the next day. We have been anticipate for our trip to Furano for quite sometimes. (Since it is the flower or Lavender viewing days for us - Yes LB love the lavender a lot and for me I love purple color flower. :"P) Anyway we arrived that early so we decided to walk around the town before our train departure time to the flower garden. We know that there will be like small summer celebration that night. Anyway we meet Sue (a Taiwanese who work in the JR station) who will try to assist the tourist to get all their required tickets (or location information). A friendly lady in deed. She also recommended us to a coffee shop for lunch that sell great sandwiches and spaghetti. (A homey meal I will say ;)). We arrived at the flower garden finally but we are sad to say that most of the lavender has withered. :( Guess we just missed the best period for Lavender. So BKM for those who wanna go next round may be you all could planned to go around mid of July. After that we went back to Furano near the evening to get ready for the 肚臍祭 there. :) Everybody will paint their belly with a face and than have a parade on that. :) It is just a great experience on that. :) More photos on the next series... Thanks for viewing. ;)
