18th March, Yudanaka : We see the Snow Monkeys

 After getting off the floor where we spent the night we had breakfast and then headed of to see the snow monkeys.

Unfortunately most of the snow has just gone and we have a temperature of 6 degrees.
So our little Monkey friends may have lost the urge to sit in the hot water.
But there may be a few die hard swimmers, let's see. It is a 5 minute drive from the hotel.
Then a nice little walk.

Back to our hotel and a little walk around it.
The hotel is actually a Rykon, a hotel containing large public baths fed by hot spring waters.
There are 3 or 4 similar hotels here. Having the spa at home means sitting with 10 naked men in a big bath just doesn't do it for me.
But some interesting walking anyway.
We finish with another simple dinner before retiring to the floor.
