Yesterday was one of the best days yet, I made good progress early on and met later this guy called Yasu. He speaks wery good english and has a lot of friends from the USA and New Zealand. We hooked up with a bunch of them later on at a nice little restaurant, had really tasty food and a few beers. It was SO nice to talk with someone properly with proper english. Basically the first normally flowing conversation since I talked to some german guy at the Kansai International on the first day. Nice meeting you guys!
I did some laundry, in a laundromat, not river like the last time, cleaned and lubed my bearings (the ceramic bearings are working really good but still need lots of caretaking), took a shower and made some shopping. New shoes! Now I consider going to an onsen to heal my feet and examine the roads a bit. If the weather gets better I might do some downhill riding later.
There was a solar eclipse here today, but the weather made that pretty insignificant, not much to see of.
A few pictures again!
I don`t know what it says but I think something along the lines of "Awesomeness ahead"
A abandoned roadside restaurant at Hokkaido. It had a nice feeling to it.
Some mountains at a ski resort town
Lake Toya?
The Buddha Of Heavy Metal! Allmost. But he seemed so benevolent that I decided that he is, donated him some of my small changed and told him to Rock Hard! He is now the patriot saint/englightened entity of my trip.
My poor shoesole. The Merrels finaly gave up. Damn, those were some good shoes.
