After a bad night’s sleep we had breakfast in the hotel room enjoying the free vending machine coffee.
Forgot to say that I had a bath and shower in the hotel last night. I was annoyed that I didn’t see the free bath salts at reception until this morning!
We went back to Cliff’s Dad’s apartment to collect all our stuff and start our ride to the train station. It was raining and not very nice. We didn’t have that long to take the bikes apart and put them in our bags but somehow we managed it. Luckily Cliff’s dad was travelling with us which made carrying our stuff a lot easier.
We got on the train and thanks again to Cliff’s dad and Cliff had the correct seats for oversized luggage. This is an area behind the seats which has just enough room for our bikes.
We are on the super express 65.
The journey was around 5 hours but it seemed to go by fairly quickly with chatting, looking out the window and a quick nap. We got the bikes off the train fine but had to carry them quite a long way which is pretty difficult when it is basically in a bin bag and you have four other bags to carry.
Putting the bikes back together went okay, my mud guard had a bit of damaged which we sorted then the riding started.
We left Hiroshima and headed south along the coast. It was a good ride and the navigation went well. The ending up in a closed campsite. Wakichohachigaminesogo Koen Camping Ground
蜂ヶ峯総合公園 キャンプ場
The climb to the top of the hill was so steep I had to get off and push.
The campsite was closed but we stayed there anyway. The driving range nearby made lots of golf noise.
A wild boar came snuffling through. Did cause any problems so far. It started to rain lots in the night.
