Hakone trip!

Woke up early and met up with Momo in Shinjuku. We bought tickets to Hakone and got on the hour and a half train ride to Hakone. There is a pretty good travel deal where for 5,000 yen you can get to and from Hakone for two days and it also covers all transportation in Hakone. Hakone is partially famous for Onsens so when we got there we took the cable car up a steep hill went to an Onsen and had lunch. From there we got on the rope way car which is like the Sky ride at Cedar Point but better. The view of the mountain was really cool but later in the day the fog blocked the view of anything but the cables holding the car. We stopped at some of the tourist centers on the top of the mountains there where they are selling black eggs which are just hard boiled eggs that turn black because they are cooked in the hot spring water.
After we got done there we headed down to a big lake in Hakone and rode the pirate ship to the other side in the fog. From there we took a bus to one of the major stations there and took the train back to Shinjuku.
