This hotel has both indoor and outdoor baths, and they are in lieu of a bathroom in the room. We have a toilet, but the baths are communal.
Due to walking we have gotten into a routine whereby ourЧитать далее
A great adventure and, like the Camino, a ripper read. Nice work Lexie and James. [Rob]
Tuna enjoyment

Felt appropriate to have tuna in the tuna port. We were by far the most competent and considerate foreigners in the restaurant which honestly isn't saying much for the rest of them. Just bloody TRYЧитать далее

The hotel is a 10 minute walk round the bay past the port, which is naturally busier in the morning, with tuna the size of big suitcases arranged in rows on the concrete and bouncing around in theЧитать далее

The journey involves a local train to Kii-Tanabe (checking your long range reading comprehension, do we remember that from right at the beginning, it was where we caught a bus from to start Nakahechi)Читать далее

City day one of four! We arrive around 3pm, self check in to our mini serviced apartment (not an Airbnb I checked rigorously) with only the most demure of hiccups, and prepared to stop bowing andЧитать далее
KEEP WATCH. NEVER LEAVE. NOT ALLOW PLAY.

I enjoy bullying children, and have found community in the blunt instructions and intimidating graphics on the infant chairs in the public toilets. Might get that blue face tattooed.

Second day in Osaka started with a free breakfast - mucho gusto, the French toast train rolls on. We then bookended some very good tonkatsu and a bountiful trip to Uniqlo with two vicious attacks onЧитать далее
Japan's only weakness

For science, we tested Japanese KFC expecting strong results. I regret to confirm, poor performance. Chips - unseasoned. Egregious. Afternoon redeemed with a walk around the slowly gentrifying, stillЧитать далее

I've been remarkably restrained in my purchases so far and we leave tomorrow night. Suitcases have been procured (robots) and damned if I'm not filling mine, so I venture out with an empty backpack toЧитать далее

I've been on logistics again and prepared a plan last night that involves luggage storage so obscenely cheap I assume we'll never see it again. The accommodation we're now checking out from has beenЧитать далее

It's ME. It's me and the entire population of Taiwan. We're on the dual pilgrim website! You can't search as far as I can tell, so here's the screenshot. I'm proud of us. Maybe in a few years JimboЧитать далее

Our flight is at 8.30pm, but we are (thank god) both the kind of people that round up generously in the buffer, so we start making moves from about 4pm. I literally don't want to hear it, Branna. WeЧитать далее

Can’t quite see, do your legs stick out in front of you at the table or is there a hole under there?
ПутешественникThe former, the latter would be significantly more comfortable particularly for Jim and his old hips and knees
