On the weekend i went to watch the golf at a course only 30kms from my house so i rode there. It was a 65km round trip in the end and when you add the 10km walk around teh course as well it turns out to be a pretty long way....

Then on saturday morning i was supposed to be on a bus at 5.25am to go hiking in Nikko with a couple of the other JETs and a whole lot of japanese people. I get a phone call at exactly 5.25am, "where are you?" I was still in bed! My alarm hadnt gone off and i was not ready to go at all. For the next 5 mins i was trying to pleade with them to bring the bus to my house to pick me up directly so i wouldnt be even more late. In teh mean time Tom was packing my bag to take hiking and throwing me clothes to wear. In the end it worked and i was only 10 mins late. and JAde and Mehn were late too at their bus stop by 5mins so it evened out in the end. I dont feel so bad anymore.

The bus trip was 4 hours each way and we only hiked for about 2 hours. Then 1 hour in teh onsen. It was lots of fun, but i couldn imagine doing the same thing in Australia. We would never go on a day trip that took 8 hours of travelling time...

That night i had a birthday party of a JET friend to go to as well. Finally got home at 1am and fell asleep straight away. Sunday morning was a sleep in (well desereved) and then a trip to the Driving range for a golf lesson from Tom. I was so tired i really sucked. I have 1 week to brush up before we go down to Gihu to play with Ueda-san. I will need to go a few times to the range this week by myself while tom isa back in AUstralia...

ANwyays, now back to work. no more 3 day weekends for me for another month..
