We managed to steal Daddy from the hospital for a couple of days the other week, and went off to Yufuin for the first time in ages. As always good food was in abundance. We tried the "Yufuin Burger", which went down a treat .
Then went to the outdoor skating rink at Kijima Kogen. Weechan's first time, so we maxed out on the safety gear.
But she proved to be a tenacious challenger, and kept going for 2 hours, with a determination to skate in the middle of the rink, which belied her actual skills to the point that Mummy had to not watch.
Of course Mairi ended up better than Mummy, who was attached to the side-bar by the hand for the entire time. A plus side of this was that Mummy, unlike Mairi, didn't have to buy an entire new outfit before getting in the car. It was an unseasonal 17 degrees when we were there, so the rink was more like a paddling pool really, and I don't know why it never occurred to me to take a change of clothes.
Fun on the park followed, with a lovely meal at my favorite restaurant, Artegio, during which M did us the honour of falling asleep on the bench, so we actually felt like we were on a date for a change.
But despite all that, Ba-chan's hot spring bath is always the highlight of the trip.
