A Week in Hokkaido

I just came back from a trip in Hokkaido. I've rented a car for one week, drove around and visited most part of Hokkaido. You know what, I've driven almost 3000km by this trip =p
Here are some pics I took during the trip.....

I really enjoyed the drive in Hokkaido even though I was traveling alone. Sleeping in the car for a week was not as bad as I thought. Actually, it was quite comfortable =D

If I'm visiting Hokkaido again some day, it will be during the winter, for snowborading.

Anyhow, I'm back to work from tomorrow..... I cannot wait for the next vacation!!
