Beat both the (two) Americans and the Dutch at drinking Sake - despite the Dutch girl telling us that 'the Britsh can't drink' - score one for the Brits! Lots more happened besides today, hold on for the full scoop when I've sobered up. x

As I previously wrote, the 5th ended with us a couple of thousand meters up the side of Mt. Fuji, leaving us with a lot more to do before we could get some sleep! It turns out it was even more than we'd imagined... Having left Chris at Goten-ba station we...
