夜行バスに乗り、今朝7:20に新宿駅に着いた。それから重い荷物を片手に、ちょっとした用事を済ませ、喫茶店に入って朝ごはんをゆったり食べた。ちょっと高いけど、この静かな雰囲気は長い時間バスにゆられてきた私にはとても心地よかった。さて、今日はどうしようか、と考える。高校時代からの友人とは昼以降、兄とは夜それぞれ会う予定。ニュージーランドから帰国している友達に連絡するも、当初の予定通り翌日会うことになった。喫茶店を出て、新宿駅を歩いているうちに目についたのは「箱根」、「鎌倉」の文字。元々、東京で行きたい場所があるわけでもない。電車に揺られるのもいいかも、と思い、案内書に置いてあるパンフレットを眺める。以前行ったことのある「鎌倉」を思い浮かべる。今日のこの気分じゃない。そして「箱根」に私の気持ちは飛んでいた。その昔、SE時代に日帰り出張をした箱根。あのときは惜しみながら箱根を後にした。今日もゆっくり堪能はできないが、行ってみよう!そう思い立った私は、携帯のサイトで時間と路線を調べ、昼前には向こうに着けることを確認して電車に飛び乗った。家族連れなどが多い中、一人で大きな荷物を抱えて計画性もなく思いつきで箱根に向かう私を、少しおかしく思いながら、気持ちはわくわくしていった。
駅から出ている無料送迎バスを利用して、近場のハーブ園、おもちゃ館、ひめしゃらの湯という温泉を回った。結局、2度目の箱根もあわただしく時が過ぎ、未練を残したまま帰りの電車に乗った。それでも前回出張時に乗れなかった小田急ロマンスカーに乗れたこともあり、満足できた。
「ひとりで箱根!?」と、話す人には驚かれたけど。思いつきも楽しいよ。荷物が大変だったけど^^;

I arrived at Shinjuku station at 7:20 this morning by night bus and then I ate breakfast at cafe after going to bank and doing something.It was a bit expensive but an atmosphere was quiet and made me relaxed as I was in the bus for a long long time."Now, what am I going to do?" I was thinking what I would do after breakfast because I would meet my friend in high school in this afternoon and have dinner with my brother at night.I gave a call to my friend who came back from NZ but we would meet next day as planned.After going out cafe,I saw some sign about 'Hakone' and 'Kamakura' while walking through Shinjuku station.I didn't have any plan to go around Tokyo,so I was thinking it was a good idea to go somewhere by train.I picked some brochure up and read them.I imagined of Kamakura which I went before but I didn't feel that I would go there today and I shifted my mind to Hakone.When I worked as SE, I went to Hakone on business trip but it was only one day trip.(From my hometown to there is quite far and I stayed there only a half and an hour)At that time, I did nothing interesting in Hakone.
I couldn't stop thinking to go to Hakone,"Let's go! go!" I talked to myself and then, I serched the time and route of train by mobile and confirmed that I could arrive there before noon.Anyway, I got on train.There were many family,couple and so on,I felt funny about me was in train by myself with heavy bag without planning.^^I was getting excited.
I got on a free bus from HakoneYumoto station and went around a herb garden, toy house and hot spring.As a result,my second trip of Hakone was also short,so I felt I would come here again. but I was satisfied as I got on the Romance Train that I didn't get the first time (on business trip).
"Oh, you went to Hakone by yourself??!"my friends were very surprised when I told about this.A fancy trip is wonderful.just I was tired of my heavy baggage....
