Couple shot
Hi
Sorry for a couple of days without updates . . we've been on the move, and well, I've been relaxing and having fun so haven't had time!
We left Takaragawaonsen on Friday morning, and took the shuttle bus into Minakami. We then took a local train to Takasaki, then the bullet train to Nagano, where Jamie (the local sales guy for Aconex in Japan) took us to his house in Hakuba Norikura. It was a 45 min drive.
We seem to have brought the snow with us, as it started snowing when we arrived, and by Saturday morning there was apparently 1m fresh! We had a good day boarding with Jamie, who showed us the backcountry and then a nice onsen and dinner at the Olympic Village (Japan hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics in Nagano, the village is called Wadano).
The boys have headed out again today, but it is 9oC and sunny, and I have a migrane, so have stayed in to try and beat it. And to update the blog!
Lots of pictures up

We leave tonight (bus from Cortina to Nagano, bullet train back to Tokyo), and I'm working in Tokyo for the week. David heads back to Melbourne Tuesday night.
