実は今日から４泊５日で北海道に旅行します。今回は実家の用事抜きで、すべての用件が友人＆ペンギンとの再会です！！
さて、なぜ八戸で時間つぶしをしているのか？ 本当は飛行機で行けばいいのですが、夏休みで運賃が高いのと、JR東日本さんのキャンペーンにまんまと乗せられて（笑）、岩手県か青森県で新幹線を降りなければならなかったのです～(^_^;)。
盛岡駅から高速バスに乗り、本八戸駅に着いたのが１８時１０分。フェリーターミナル行きのバスが２０時４５分に出るので、それまで休憩している、というわけです(^-^)。
今日はこれから２２時発のフェリーで苫小牧に向かい、明日はおたる水族館に訪問します！ ジェンツーペンギンのひなが順調に育っているはず！ 楽しみです～！
Good evening, this is Tori's writing. I am now writing this blog at the Internet Cafe 'Super Freaks Hachinohe Central Shop' !
Now I am traveling to Hokkaido from today to Friday. This time, I have no tasks to do at my parent's home and I have schedules only to see my friends and penguins!!
Well, why am I now staying at Hachinohe? To go to Hokkaido, the best choice is to take flights, but the fare is so high due to summer vacations, and also, I want to enter a campaign presented by JR East Railway Company, so I had to get off Shinkansen at Iwate ore Aomori prefecture. :-)
I took the highway bus from Morioka station and arrived at Hon-Hachinohe station at 6:10 PM. The shattle bus for the ferry terminal will depart at 8:45 PM, so I am taking a rest. :-)
Today I will board the 10:00 PM ferry from Hachinohe and go to Tomakomai city, and tomorrow I will visit Otaru Aquarium! The Gentoo Penguins' chicks are growing well, I hear! I hope to see them!!
