FUJI-SAN: ON THE ROAD

TAKING OUR FIRST STOP AT MATSUMOTO. DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS AT LAST NIGHT'S PARTY, I'M JUST ABOUT IN A FIT STATE TO DRIVE TO FUJI-SAN. WOKE AT 10.30, HAD BREKKIE, PACKED, AND PICKED UP KATE BY 12.30. DEBS HAS PULLED OUT SO I'LL BE DOING ALL THE DRIVING MYSELF. FEEL OK AT THE MOMENT, PERHAPS THE ANTICIPATION TO CLIMB FUJI IS SPURRING ME ON. AND IF I START FLAGGING, I HAVE LIPOVITAN B TO PERK ME UP!
