Back to gentle normality tonight and a perfectly peaceful park-up, just outside Koya, and on a footpath we can take, for a nice walk tomorrow... It also has possibly the nicest version of the 5pm music we've heard to date youtube.com/shorts/WG_XF...

Fingers crossed ... Today involves hills but I checked almost every square inch before we set off

Day 26 – What a terrifying drive

Vaucluse Dreamer @vauclusedreamer.bsky.social · 1d

Sitting on a ferry has been useful, as I've just finished yesterday's blog (now I have been able to relax my hands enough to type) .. it certainly wasn't a drive for the faint-hearted

We woke with the sunrise and sat watching the boats potter out of the port, as we had our first coffee of the day, and decided what to do. It was a calm morning, and we had wanted to take a short b…

Feeling a bit less stressed today, after a night's sleep and an early Onsen. Now on a characterful, rattly old ferry between Shikoku and Wakayama youtube.com/shorts/PBbnt...

Unfortunately there was in places, luckily Andy is excellent at reversing, as a lot of the drivers we met clearly couldn't 😳

Not sure I'll be doing a blog tonight ... Hopefully today's little video Postcard from Japan will explain why ... It's been quite an afternoon's drive, after a morning cycle with more close passes than we've ever had .. A quiet sit down is needed youtube.com/shorts/ntg0W...

Today's blog from Japan. The days are hurtling past and it's going too quickly, but every day brings something new, and today's wildlife was amazing

Today was another early start, as I think everyone up on the camp ground at the Shikoku Karst was up early, hoping to see the sunrise. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a ray of sunshine in sight, …

It was so pretty 😍

Vaucluse Dreamer @vauclusedreamer.bsky.social · 3d

This morning's walk up a Gorge was really very beautiful and we just kept going to see if we could find another way back. We couldn't, but we did spot the most exquisite butterfly, as we ambled back

We were a bit tired last night, after our bike ride out along the Shimanami Kaido Cycle Route, and were asleep by 9pm. It turned out to be a good move, as we were already awake and watching the sk…
