2. Day Amakusa -> Akune 51km

Wow what a great day! I started the day with writing my diary while having a light breakfast in the guesthouse. The ferry from Amakusa to Nagashima was around 10:15 am and it was already 9 am. I decided to hurry, so I can take the next part more chill. The ferry ride was around 1 hour long and really beautiful. Nagashima was super hilly. In Wakimoto, Akune I found a nice cafe with a great view and the owners Haru and Ryutaro were really open and interested. Ryutaro went on work and holiday for a couple of year in Australia, NZ and Canada. And Haru also travelled to many places and became and yoga instructor. We talked for hours and I got to know many locals. Ryutaro and Haru invited me for Okonomiyaki and drinks at a friend's place which I happily accepted. After 51 km, I reached the Hostel, checked in, took a shower and around 6:30 pm they came to pick me up. I got to know three other friends of them and one of them had even the same birthday as me. She was opening up a hostel. So exciting. We talked, ate Okonomiyaki and drank for another few hours. Such great people and such a great experience! Much love!Read more
