A quick trip to Furano   

Just went to Furano with a friend to check out the blooming flowers. It's pretty far, but the two and half hours it takes to get there seems half as long when you got a good partner to speak with and beautiful vistas to view along the way.

There were a couple places I had on the list to check out, namely, the FB (Furano Burger joint), and the Cheese factory.
The majority of roads in Furano are really narrow so we had difficulty in finding the FB restaurant. The map we had didn't indicate the names of all the streets, and we weren't certain what the scale of it was, meaning we didn't know if one inch on the map was 1 mile (!.6km), or 400 meters, or whatever.

After a good hour of backtracking and tracing up and down the streets, we finally found it. In retrospect it should have taken us only 15 minutes to get there from the location we got the information (at the Furano Station information center.)

On the bright side, we worked up quite an appetite, so the burger tasted that much better. Then we headed over to the cheese factor to try and have a go at making our own cheese. In trying to find the burger place, we got pretty familiar with the layout of Furano, so we found the Cheese Factory with easy. Unfortunately, we wasted so much time that we missed the cheese class, and could only buy something someone else made...

We also got some really good ice cream at a little annex adjacent to the cheese factory. Zomg I love Hokkaidou milk/ice cream!

Despite the fact we got lost a bit, the trip to Furano was really relaxing and fun.
