Sunday morning's first activity involved a cold lake and some bridge jumping down by the pier. Ben, John Boy, Liam and Dave took the plunge for the Gaijin Circus and entertained dozens of passersby with their acrobatics. An important part of any ALT's job description.

In the meantime, Laura, Calvin, Elizabeth and Rosemary headed for the hills to climb Mt. Terumae and after the bridge dealings some of the boys went in the direction of the water jump at Okurayama in Sapporo to live out their wildest dreams on a set of skis for the day. Myself, Ben and Ed hit Mt. Eniwadake,overlooking the lake, for a 5 hour afternoon vertical challenge.

We were well rewarded with some epic views of Lake Shikotsu and the surrounding hills.
