At 20 days of walking now, the distance covered from Tokushima to the Cape of Ashizuri is at 365.71 miles.
Day 19 was one of the more difficult days of this trip. We walked over 20 miles in the rain and spent the entire evening thereafter trying to dry back out. Out of all the things I wish I would’ve packed, a really good umbrella is one of them. So far, I’ve purchased 4 of them now. The ones you can buy at the convenience stores are okay, until the wind comes along to ruin them.
Outside of the umbrella, it took a bit of effort to locate some playing cards which I really enjoyed our evening’s sitting around playing Rummy and 31.
Walking in the rain. ☔️
The only time it wasn’t raining on day 19, was inside the 1.2 mile tunnel we passed through. I never thought I’d be so excited to see a tunnel.
This public bathroom was quite comical. It had the world’s longest toilet seat, and the world’s smallest toilet all in 1 little room.
Traditional Japanese dinner. The Mackerel was quite delicious. I’ll be honest, I don’t know what I’m eating half the time.
A common Japanese breakfast. You get miso soup with every meal.
This is a common thing served for breakfast. It’s sardine minnows (Shirasu) served on top of daikon radish.
Lots of beautiful views of the coastline along way.
Here around Temple 38 is close to the halfway point on this walk in terms of distance. We’ve definitely covered a lot of ground so far.
On day 20, we walked with Kento for several hours arriving at the Cape of Ashizuri. After stopping at the only restaurant we saw for quite some time, I decided to treat our new friend to lunch as a nice gesture. In return, he went and bought me some whale jerky to try which I have yet to open.
