Bike ride to Imabari

I meet Ainwright from Melbourne, Australia while walking to the bike rental place. We set a good place and decide to ride together until I have to double back to retrieve my phone that I left on the counter at Lawson's.

From there I returned to my default setting of getting lost. Intentionally or not I manage to do it again and find a superb temple for locals and an end of the valley village that is so typically Japanese. The weather is holding up.

The bike riding is great but I never met up with the Aussie again. The rain starts and it's mild. I see a fun chair indicating a burger place and that would sure hit the spot. Great folks. We talk about formula 1 and they offer a mochi filled with a whole Mandarin. Tastes great. I'll have to come by there again tomorrow.

By the last 5km I'm I get pretty wet and cold and I hang on to reach the hostel. This one is on Shikoku on the Henro track and Stine is there. Together with Patrick also from Melbourne we have an interesting conversation about Denmark and Greenland.Read more
