This morning we did most of our packing since we didn't arrive into port until around noon. Around 11:00 am the captain announced that Mt. Fuji was visible ahead so we grabbed the phone and headed up top for pictures. It was beautiful! There is still snow on top and the air was pretty clear. Apparently the day before was very cloudy, so we were very fortunate. While a nice gentleman was taking our picture together, my visor flew over the railing and landed just out of reach on a ledge. It stayed there and since we couldn't reach it through the slats, I wrote it off. But the gentleman used his camera on the strap to snag it and pull it in. I was so afraid he'd drop his camera all for a $5 visor!
Our tour was to 2 more shrines, but I enjoyed these more than those in Osaka probably because they were smaller and less crowded. The last stop was to a beach where we got more good pictures of Mt. Fuji. Wish I could post them, but the WiFi on the ship just doesn't allow for it, or I'm not doing it right.
We had our last dinner with Peter and Carol, which was very sad. They are so much fun to be around and we will miss them very much. Hopefully we can cruise again, or do something else with them in the future.
Our waiters confirmed that the errant third engineer they were looking for that night was indeed in another cabin when they tried to reach him after he didn't turn up for his watch. A big no-no. And there was someone who had a heart attack in Osaka and didn't get back on board, so we think it probably was that couple on our tour. Hope all's well with them.
Final packing and put out our bags after dinner. We have to be out of our cabin before 8:00 in the morning.
