Golden Week is the holiday in Japan at the end of every April, like Easter break I guess.
This Golden Week was busy! First I went camping in Shizuoka 200km south-west of Tokyo, and then on a family trip with Toshi's Osakan family to Wakayama, the 'Hawaii of Japan'.

Can you see Mt Fuji faintly towering over us?

Feeling motherly with Satomi-chan and singing English songs to her ♪
At a Yakiniku restaurant, grilled meat (especially beef).
This is the most delicious beef I've ever had! But one plate of cost about £10! Luckily I wasn't paying ;P
Speaking of meat, I saw whale meat for the first time at a Wakayama fish market.
And no, I certainly did'n't buy any. The price of the smallest cut you can see here is about £10.

Beautiful Shirahama beach!
We visited a cave that was the location of a secret pirate hideout several hundred years ago!
At Senjō-jiki, a very windy rocky point and Engetsu-tō, a natural sandstone arch
Snorkeling!
All-you-can-eat buffet back at the hotel after my no less than third hot spring bath in three days!
