Day 3:102 km

I am covering much more distance than i expected.
crossing the mountains was really cool, though i took the tunnel and skipped the 2nd pass.
several cute cafes, edelweiss as a morning siren, and great luck at getting a campsite. the restaurant/onsen has an adjacent playground i can use if i stay out of sight〓
the only bad parts today were losing my map book when zipping downhill and the final 20 km through stinky suburbs

Today is my mountain climbing day

On tv, a japanese obama impersonator just did the best ever at biking across a narrow floting strip wo falling.

Day two

Took it easy today, but got everything done.hopefully ill sleep better tonight.
currently at a restaurant on rt194
My first day was pretty cool, except that it rained all afternoon.i didnt make it to the campground until after dark, which meant no washing up. its not much of a campground, just a park with space and level ground.
didnt sleep well so ill take it easy today

best part of first day was chatting with other travelers at a rest stop.

Heading out tomorrow

The weather looks kinda bad but im still trying to go about 115 km (71 miles) from here to 高知 Kouchi tomorrow. Itll be along the coast so im pretty sure i can do it. The next concern is finding food along the way, and then finding an onsen and the campsite at the end.

After that its mountains, so wish me luck.

WWOOFing has been okay, but im pretty sick of tomatoes. i def dont want to be a farmer when i grow up.
