Day trip to Hakone with Hakone Free Pass / Family Travelogue16 March 2016 Part 3

The cheapest way to go around Hakone using all the means of transports - Hakone Free Pass. We bought our free pass at the Odakyu center in Shinjuku station.  You could also get there, reservation for Romance car seat.  The free pass covers most of the transports around Hakone and one time round trip fare from Shinjuku/Machida/Odawara to Hakone.

We just visited Hakone for a day. The Hakone Free pass we purchased amounting to 5,140yen )for adult)s was valid for 2 days.  We took the Romance car to Hakone Yumoto.  If you do not have the free pass, you have to pay the regular price from Shinjuku- 1,110yen plus Romance car limited express surcharge of 890yen.  We had the free pass, we paid only the surcharge of 890yen per passenger.

Spanish Steps Rome, Italy/ Family Travelogue 06~08 June 2015

Arrived a bit late at FCO from Santorini.  Our pre arranged transfer was there carrying a paper board with our name.  We paid 65Euros direct to the driver/ owner of the car.  We had stayed at Ripetta 25 for 2 nights booked thru Expedia.  The apartment was  walking distance to most of the attractions such as the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the Vatican City.  We avoided taking the Metros so not to encounter the notorious pickpockets.  We walked most and only once we took a cab.

Santorini Greece/ Family Travelogue 05~06 June 2015

We  have so much of this incredibly fascinating island.  We have shared earlier our sailing experience. Santorini is really a must to visit when in Greece.  Check out the uncommon but beauteous  landscape and buildings such as the blue-domed churches.  It may not be appealing  to a few though, we love the simplicity of this place.
