If I have to use one word to describe the experience – “Spectacular!” That was what I said repeatedly when I first set my foot at the sight entrance. […]
Have you read about our travel mishap in China? This hiccup plus a dash of spontaneity led us to Mount Yun earlier than planned, from Day 5 to Day 4 (PM). This change also meant we had just half a day to explore instead of a full day. Despite the time crunch, we “did it” and enjoyed a wonderful day
This is Part 4 of our 2-week Kyushu trip. We would be travelling from Beppu to Kitakyushu, bringing us nearer to the starting point of the loop tour – at Fukuoka.

Day 8 in Kota Kinabalu was almost perfect, with us starting the day at Gaya Street Sunday market and then feasting on delicious steamed crab for lunch. We also discovered a mountain that took just 30 minutes to get to the summit. You’ll be surprised at how a mountain can be planted with so many photo props along the way

Obviously, one day is not enough to fully explore and embrace Hakone, an onsen town located 2 hours from Tokyo.
