Ok, yesterday was fake news. But seriously, after going around the crater for about 3 hours, I finally started to head back down around 1 pm. I thought I could get down quickly by running down, but it was a big mistake. My knees suddenly started to hurt, and I was in so much pain! I had never had knee pain in my life, but now I started to worry if I could make it down or not. So, I took it slow, one step at a time. I was doing ok until I came to a fork in the path. I realized then that there was more than one path down the mountain, each leading to different parking lots. I didn't know what to do, so I took my best guess and hobbled down in pain.
Finally, I made it down by 6pm. It was so hard. Everyone was waiting for me and teased me saying I was like an old man.
I enjoyed it. Now, I am thinking about going again someday. How about you? Have you climbed Mt. Fuji?
Thank-you for checking out my blog.
Have a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day!

In my case, going down was hard. A small stone entered my shoes, it was painful and uncomfortable.So I wrapped my ankle and shoes round and round from the top of the trousers with gum-tape. You wrote that you want to climb someday again, but I don't think so. Mt.Fuji is not a mountain to climb, I think that it is mountains to see its beauty from afar.
返信削除Yes, Akiko. I agree that going down is harder than going up. Strange, isn't it? You are lucky that you had something to wrap your ankles with. I wonder how many people get stuck on Fuji and can't come down because of their knees on ankles? Does a helicopter come to get them?
返信削除You guys sound really tough to climb, but you made it ! すご〜い！
返信削除I’ve never tried , but wherever I see Hujisan
I feel like putting my palms together.
I’m not so religious but I have a feeling I could understand there is Fuji-faith.
Fujisan is truly special to Japanese .
I can’t describe her beauty but I like snow-clad Mt. Fuji.
Yea, Fuji is really beautiful.
削除Hi!
返信削除Yaeko again . Or I should say ‘beginner 4’?
I always make mistakes .
Interesting expression here is “fork in the road”
It was new to me . It means Yshaped road?
I couldn’t understand first , because usually fork has 3 or 4 tines ...
and then I remembered a scene in a movie
“Pretty Woman” . A Hotel manager teachs table manner to a girl whose occupation is prostitute
Saying , “ three tines are dinner fork , four tines are...” Julia Robert plays the role very well and cute.
That's a good point. I never thought of that. You are right. A fork isn't Y-shaped. But yes, I was talking about a road that is Y-shaped, or branches off into 2 directions. I remember that scene in "Pretty Woman".
