Did a lot more driving on Sunday, and saw some beautiful scenery. We also saw a baby fox from the car, which stared at us curiously and didn't even run away - maybe rabid? It was cute anyway. We watched the sun set into the sea from the top of some cliffs at the end of Cape Notori, probably the best place we've found so far.
Yesterday was a public holiday here, so we drove out to Saroma lake, a massive lagoon protected from the sea by two long sandy spits. We walked most of the way down one of the spits, and back again (of course!) - took several hours. We saw a lot of wild flowers, herons, cranes and other birds. Then back to Kitami for refreshments in Mister Donuts. We also found a really good video/DVD rental place, where DVDs are only 99 yen a night, so we watched The Man Who Wasn't There last night.
