Hokkaido 3 北海道

Third day in Hokkaido was an exciting day.

Firstly and foremost, I thanked G0d for answering our prayer of good weather.

Today was one of the days that good sunshine was needed. We were visiting the most famous Lavender fields in Furano.

Left Otaru at 7:00 am heading towards Furano, about 150 kms away. It was raining all the way.... until few kilometers from Furano. The sky broke and sun coming out..

Glorious sunshine on the beautiful flower fields. Furano - followers flowers, tourist, tourist everywhere.

I was told by a tourism office staff that it was raining the whole yesterday.

We took a break from over-sunshine, retreated to a neaby forest park to have a picnic ... finishing whatever we brought ... biscuit, fruits, eggs, tidbits....

After Furano, it is a town called Biei, which was picked as the most beautiful village in Japan.. clean, quiet, with beautiful buildings and many bicycles.....

Tonight we put up at Dormy Inn in Asahikawa, second biggest city in Hokkaido ... compare with the big room in Otaru, room in Dormy Inn is simply .... very very small!

Anyway, it was a great day for us! Praise the Lord!

北海道的第三天，棒极了！

首要的，要感谢天主垂听了我们的祈求，赐给我们好天气。

今天最需要好天气及阳光，因为我们要到富良野去，观赏闻名的薰衣草花田。

今早我们在七点左右，离开小樽市，到150公里外的富良野。一路上都下着雨，但离开富良野大约几公里时，天空黑云散开，阳光展现了笑容。

艳阳高照，亮丽光彩，富良野到处都是花，花，游客，游客。。。。

我们暂时避开列热点阳光，到附近的一个森林公园野餐。。我们把带出来的食物，水果，鸡蛋等食物吃完就是了。

富良野之后，我们到了一个叫美英的小镇，它被推选为全日本最美丽的村镇 - 干净，幽静，美丽的建筑物，及很多的脚车。。。

今晚我们住宿在旭川，北海道的第二大城市。比起昨天在小樽的房间，这里的可小的可怜，真的是太小了。。
