Waking up to the bitterness of the spring morning, I realized that my sleeping bag was not what it advertised to be. The temperature rating was 7 Celsius degree but i was cold in there.
I have a medical condition with my nose and it prevented me from having a good sleep. Without enough sleep, the otherwise acceptable sleeping condition was no longer tolerable to my body and as a result of that i was feeling sluggish the whole time second day into my riding trip.
I chose my camp ground because I want to see this. It is supposed to have been built in over a night to welcome some important person from the federal government, back in the 17th century. It's basically a decorated sand dune.
this is how it is supposed to look like
Leaving the camp ground, i continued my journey to the Kamouda Misaki. It is the most eastern point of Shikoku island, looking out to the Pacific Ocean. This place isnt like any other lighthouse tourist attractions at all. Very few people were seen and assess to the place was really confusing. I admit it, i lost my way trying to return to the city. I took a photo to show you as well. :-)
After that I went straight to a 24hour sauna to call it a day. It was only 4pm but I have had enough. I dont know what would the equivalent facility in your country but suffice to say this is like a poor man's hotel. In here I pay 30USD for unlimited shower, sauna, hot tub, water, tv, reading material and a place to lie on. Oh, parking is another 5 USD. So all in all I pay 35USD for a night in a not-so-attractive place. However, I made this choice not thinking of cost performance too much, but rather as a ritual - after all this is Japan, and I just have to put this on my itinerary. :-)
I am going to call it a day. Hopefully I could get more sleep tonight.
