Darren, Donny and I took off to Wakayama on Monday to do a short hike. We were using a hiking book that Darren’s fiancé had let us borrow. The hike was supposed to take us across a river, up a mountain and along the ocean. Unfortunately the book is all in Japanese, so we had a tough time reading the instructions. After getting lost about 8 or 9 times we finally found a trail that led us up the mountain. We walked through some orchards (Japanese orange farms). The oranges looked like they were starting to ripen and we saw some farmers picking them. At the top of the mountain we had a good view of the city and river. At the end of the hike we saw a beautiful sunset. All in all, it was a great day out. Good to finally get some exercise again! This colourful spider almost turned us back, but we were brave enough to continue.: spiderThe view from the top of the mountain.Here we are trying to read signs. This took a long time!A beautiful sunset in Wakayama
