On our last day in Hokkaido, we decided to go to Nijo Market.
The Sapporo Tower

We decided to have breakfast at one of the restaurants in Nijo Market which was featured in the travel magazine that we bought.

After Nijo Market, we headed to the famous Shiroi Koibito Factory.

Hmm, does this give us the excuse to eat more chocolate??
Hmm, so it is ok to eat chocolate even when we are on diet??
Hands-on bakery experience for kids. Cute! She practically cant reach!
Tiramisu and cappuccino for tea.
Peiyen's hot chocolate.
After the Shiroi Koibito Factory, we went to a famous ice-cream place, recommended by the helper from our accommodation in Furano. She is from Sapporo, so she recommended us this place.
Their famous vanilla ice-cream. It was yummy, but a little too much for me.
Then we just randomly picked an izakaya for dinner.
This was great! Yummy! Yaki Hotate! And a huge one too!
Melon cocktail, ordered by Peiyen. I think it can only be found in Hokkaido. It was nice.
Sapporo at night.
The next day, we headed to the airport and returned our trusty Nissan March, and flew back to Tokyo. However, before we got onto the plane, we decided to buy the famous cheesecake (I didnt know it was famous until Peiyen told me) to bring back to Tokyo.
When we got back to my house, we feasted!
The cheesecake.
Also arriving at my place on the day we got back were our melons that we ordered from Hokkaido! 2 for me and 1 which Peiyen lugged all the way back to SG!
It was a great trip. Alot of new experiences. It was tiring, but I love driving! It was a really different trip as driving gave us so much more freedom to choose where we wanted to go. And because of this trip, Peiyen has decided to learn driving! We can take turns to drive the next time! Also on this trip, I got to know of Peiyen's habit when she is deep in thought...lol.
I love Hokkaido! I just wished that there were more sunny days. Of all the places that we went, I liked Otaru and Sapporo the least. I love Furano and Biei. I love Hokuryu Town for the sunflowers too, although it was always overcast. Someday, I will go back there again.
