Follow Me Hokkaido - Day 7 (Part 2)

Yummy, right after our Butadon lunch, we had ice-cream at this little ice-cream house, which is very popular among the ladies and students. I did not see any, except our tour group members.

Oliver and Heidi learnt to share ice-cream with each other, and we are quite proud that Oliver is a very good brother, even when it comes to sharing his favourite ice-cream. I remember Jeanette shared with me, at one occassion which I was too sick to fetch the kids back from school and Boon Heng needed to work, Oliver, she said, ensured Heidi walked safely into the lift and used his body to block the door from closing when Heidi stepped out of the lift. He also held onto Heidi's hand until they reached the school bus. I feel like so proud after hearing it.

Next, we headed out to another confectionery shop - Ryugetsu Sweetpia Garden. We were expecting more from this factory, but not quite cosy compared to the cake shop in Furano. We thought of getting the pastry here, but the expiral date of most cakes fall exactly on the date we returned Singapore. Still, we searched through the shop and found a few items that could last long enough to give to friends.

We stayed at Tokachigawa Daiichi Hotel.

Our room had a stunning view of the bridge crossing over Tokachi River at night.

We did not have the opportunity to take the view of the bridge. I found this photograph from the Internet. Notice the beautiful lit bridge, it is simply breathtaking.

mmm. This was Oliver's dinner. Not too appealing to a four-year old boy.


Although the food served at this hotel was relatively not as good, it was still not as stressful when it was served on a tall table.

We left the dining hall after the disappointing dinner. Not expecting our guide to call us saying that we did not complete full course. Hence, they bought in this huge ice-cream to our room which excite not just the kids, we tucked in happily too.
