Azuric on Fuji-san

Me on Mt. Fuji, Japan
This pic was taken on the way down, very early in the morning, im still quite near the summit - still above the clouds.
We (sister, cousin, and friends) started climbing at 9pm and reached the summit at about 3am - just in time to see the sunrise (yes thats right, we climbed the mountain, at night, in the dark.)
It was quite funny really, in Japan they have these "100 Yen" shops selling almost everything - a bit like our Pound shops in the UK, and we decided to buy our mountain climbing kit from here - big mistake! Not even an hour into the climb and the flashlights are falling to pieces - litterally, springs and batteries and bulbs flying all over the place with cries of exasperation and of things that really cant be posted here!

It was harder climbing down Fuji than going up believe it or not, well.....at least me sliding half way down the mountain provided comedy for the rest! I gotta dash off now, sorry for the abruptness, will add more when i get some time
