I got up at 6:30. The breakfast started at 7:30. Breakfast was good, although it seemed a little.

After finishing my breakfast, I checked out and waited for the bus at the bus stop, there are green mountains a little far:

I rented a bicycle near Furano station, planning three hours to see lavender, including time costing on the way and way back, 200JPY per hour. The starting time is 8:50.

I back at Furano station at 12:10. I bought a bowl of noodle, saying Japanese. It seemed no surprising. A western couple bought a bowl of noodle too. After I had finished the noodle, I said to the old woman, who runs the kiosk, in English: "Can I get some water?" She was staring at me with a surprised face.

Finally, I got in the station:
