Cycling Around Mount Fuji

Note that this photo is a posed shot. You are supposed to cycling anti-clockwise around the lake! Haha If you are deciding between taking the train to Kawaguchiko or driving, you can check out the car rental prices at   https://www.nipponrentacar.co.jp/english/user-guide/reservations.html   and train prices at   http://www.hyperdia.com/ It depends on whether you’re staying overnight at Kawaguchiko and the number of people travelling. Remember to add toll fees of about ¥4200 one way. We decided to rent a car but forgot about the toll fees so it ended up being more expensive. I’d say if you’re staying for one night and there are at least 3 of you, renting a car is a good option. If there are two of you and you want more freedom to move around (such as going to neighbouring places like Oshino Hakkai, Chureito Pagoda, Yamanakako etc) it is also better to rent a car. You should also be warned that traffic is congested upon leaving and arriving at Tokyo. We parked our car at our ryokan Kozan

West Wong 王西 (西君): 25 Oct 2007 - 02 Feb 2011


3 days ago, we noticed that some of our bunnies' stools are smaller and less in number than usual so on Mon, we brought them both to the vet. She examined them both and could not find anything unusual. She assured us that they both look very well and healthy and there is no need for any further treatment. But Chris, the very observant one, noticed that West's appetite has decreased significantly. While he would usually get very excited and devour the fresh veggies we leave in their enclosure, he showed little interest in the cai xin we presented.

So on Tuesday, Chris brought West down for an x-ray and it was discovered that he had gastro-intestinal stasis. There was blockage in his intestinal tract so he could not pass motion properly, hence the lack of interest in food as he must have felt very uncomfortable with the constipation.

Chris took leave on Wed morning to observe West and continued administering the medication, hoping that it will clear his system. Last night while feeding him that medicine, West passed out a couple of hard and small pellets.

This morning, Chris woke up to find West lying motionless, cold and hard ='( When he told me, i was stunned at the sudden passing and jumped out of my bed... When I touched West's hard body, I just cried and cried...

We just came back from Mt Pleasant after settling the schedule for cremation. During breakfast at Serene Centre MacDonald's, Chris couldn't finish his meal and i was sobbing between mouthfuls ='(

Our only consolation is that he had a good life while he was with us and he is no longer suffering. But our concern is also for Claire as they're bonded mates so we hope Claire will not be too affected. I have read about bunnies dying of a broken heart ='(

West, daddy and mummy will remember you forever although there will be no more wake-up calls, no more pitter-patter of your paws on our bed-side. You have brought us much joy and we will meet again in heaven as you wait with Brownie and Hiro kor kor. We love you...

West and daddy
