ウトロ温泉ターミナルで知床斜里行きのバスを待っている間、近くのペレケ川でカラフトマス（鮭缶の中身）をウォッチング。産卵のため
川に遡上していました。かなり感動。
昼過ぎに網走到着。ちょうど
サンゴ草が紅葉している時期だからと母に強く勧められたので能取湖へ。バスがなかったのでタクシーを呼んで見に行ったのだけど、片道3,000円払って見に行くほどでもないかなぁ。
その後、レンタカーに乗っていた京都の若いカップルに拾ってもらって、一緒に
網走監獄博物館へ。蝋人形、相棒のツボにかなりハマった様子。
札幌行きのJR発車時刻まで、ロシア料理屋「カチューシャ」で店員のロシア人若者と一緒に3時間ほど飲んでました。彼の作ったペリメニ（水餃子みたいな食べ物）が最高に美味しかった！
札幌行きの電車は6,300円をプラスして
寝台車で寝てみました。思ったよりもキレイ！浴衣まで付いてる！でも隣りのおじさんのイビキがうるさかった！
While we were waiting for a bus to Shiretoko-Shari, we were watching
sakhalin trout swimming against the current to their breeding ground at Pereke River. We were very impressed!
After we arrived in Abashiri in the afternoon, we went to see
coral grass at Lake Notoro, it turns red only in September. My mother strongly recommended it, but I don't know if it was worth the ¥3,000 cab ride.
After that, we hitchhiked and got a lift with a young couple from Kyoto and we all went to
Abashiri Prison Museum. The wax dolls were quite amusing.
We had about three hours until our train departure, so we had food and drink at a Russian restaurant called Катюша. It was nice to meet the young Russian guy who worked at the restaurant and his Pelmeni were so good!
We had booked a
bed on the night train to Sapporo for ¥6,300. It was much cleaner and nicer than I expected. But the middle aged man who was sleeping opposite me was very noisy!
