Aomori: The aftermath

And finally we arrived back in Hakodate at 5am, having swum at kikonai, where we had to disembark after mistakenly boarding the Doraemon train in the morning (the ticket inspector told us to stop playing with the toys), having traded clothes, drunk way too much, had a cartwheel race, chanted "lasse la, lasse la" and had the entire parade turn to face us and chant "lasse lasse la!" right back at us, having caught a whole bunch of little bells thrown our way for good luck, having boarded the ferry, after realising that there weren't any trains to get us home at midnight and that at least two of our party were working in the morning. All in all an excellent night!

Too many great pictures taken to sort through them all, so I just uploaded the majority.
