Day 4 (Last Day) - 2017 Golden Week Riding Trip

May 2, 2017. Tuesday. Sunny and Clear Sky.

After lying in the tent for some 8 hours straight without any sleep, I decided to wake up and get ready for the road.


I will go empty stomach this morning because all my food was flooded with shattered eggs in my top box.
The egg case wasn’t an enough protection against the violent shakings the Super Rindo gave to my bike. Well, just had to eat something along the way I guess. (and I just searched online trying to find some sturdy plastic cases for eggs. darn... why do I just love eggs so much? How do you guys store eggs?)

By the end of this trip I have come to getting used to setting/packing up tent, preparing food outdoor, having no shower for consecutive days and having to worry about shelter at night. Getting used to it, but I have to admit it did take a toll on my overall well being. To sum it in one word, it was hard. I enjoyed it no doubt, but I also have to admit that it was hard.

No drama from the time I woke up until I boarded the ferry and rode safely home. Got home, unpacked and settled down with a big sigh. So the trip is now officially over. It ended two days earlier than what I planned for. I am glad that I did all that I set out to do: I managed to pick the lower cost option most of the time, I camped and stayed away from hotel, I covered my destinations without pre-determined routes and I was cool all the time. To top it off, I managed to ride on Super Rindo and it boosted my confidence to a whole new level (per my case that is).

This is a very good experience for me and I want to do something similar more in the future. Definitely.

In coming August, I am going to FUKUSHIMA.

Cheers,
