Day 10 Monday the 15th of October 2018
Eddie declared that this early morning adventure with me turned out to be his highlight of the total Hokkaido trip.
This comment truly made my day.
I knew he included me in his precious experience in his sweetest possible way.
As usual Eddie got up very easily early morning around 5am.
I was too tired to join him.
I told him I really couldn't make it.
So I thought to myself.
Once he was gone I was wide awake and suddenly this desperate idea sank in that I didn't want to miss the last chance
of relishing early moring time in Hokkaido.
Within 5 minutes or so I was already outside of the hotel walking on the road into the trail.
It was not dark anymore but amazingly no one was seen outside.
What a huge contrast comparing yesterday afternoon.
All onsen town was still asleep before it turned up like a bee's hive with millions of people animatedly chatting and moving
around disorientedly.
Our hotel was within a stone's throw way to the trail which was beautifully construed along the the crude hot spring resources.
I walked breathing into my system of sulpur scents from crude spring water flowing down the road splashing white steams
and morning mists at the same time.
I chose a path leading into higher and deeper part of the trails on my left hand side.
I came across a numerous forks on the way but I instinctly selected a proper course Eddie must have chosen
and then when I got at the end of the track finally I heard a sudden rushing big foot step coming toward me
and then voila here came Eddie.
I was happy to see him there and so was he.
He said it was too good a scene to miss that he was going to fetch me up from the hotel
and I was there already so we shared the true happiness being there together in the early morning dew.
Everything was all to ourselves.
We were soaked in the most peaceful and beautiful ambience ever truly.
We strolled in the most leirsurely form in the happiest time of the day.
There was still no soul until we got to the hotel when everyone seemed to sleep in after a big night maybe?
It was our sheer luck in another word.
Unforgettable moments of my life.
