Day 13
Tateshina HoHo team!
July 27, 2015 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
The group of Kimono Dragons who are on HoHo in the beautiful Tateshina gathered this morning with their families to meet the Mayor of Tateshina. We were gifted fans with the Tateshina mascot on and were asked to go back and visit should we come to Japan again.
We then travelled to a junior high school where we joined a grade 8 English lesson and played games with the students. Ollie B and Becky's group asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend and of course were in disbelief when she said she was a teacher!
Now to make some SOBA!Read more

Day 19
Wada-juku ➡️ Middle of Nowhere
July 14 in Japan ⋅ 🌧 22 °C
🇺🇸 Rain. Way too much rain and no hotel that had a free room. So my planned 15km day turned into another 25km day - Great 👍
At least I found an Onsen 20 minutes away from a Roadstation where I hoped I could at least sleep under a roof. To my surprise, they had a room where I could setup my sleeping mat - I guess I was bound to be lucky at some point today. Now I won‘t mind if it rains through the night.

🇩🇪 Regen. Viel zu viel Regen und nicht ein einziges Hotel, das ein Zimmer frei hatte. Also sind aus meinen geplanten 15km etwa 25km geworden - Na super! 👍
Wenigstens habe ich ein Onsen gefunden, das etwa 20 Minuten von einer Raststätte, bei der ich hoffte, dass ich wenigstens im Trockenen schlagen könne, entfernt lag. Zu meiner Überraschung gab es hier sogar einen zugänglichen Raum, in den ich meine Isomatte legen konnte - Irgendwann musste ich heute ja Glück haben. Jetzt kann‘s gerne die Nacht über regnen.Read more
