Hokkaido spree: seal or no seal

We spent two joyful nights and three blizzard-y days in Wakkanai, the northernmost part of Hokkaido/Japan. Aside from devouring the sumptuous Japanese dishes served to our pleasure, we went strolling around despite the bad weather (=snowstorm). We went to the Wakkanai Port to see some seals. Too bad we did not see any, but Luke was still smiling and jolly to be out trying to find some seals. On a fine day (which means about 0-1 degrees), we could've also have a hungry glimpse of Russia (at least the coastal part). Maybe next time...
