Suzu to Wakuraonsen. A good sleep on the floor last night, thank goodness, so woke up ready for off and not making the mistake of yesterday morning and chasing people 20 years, or more, my junior. Breakfast was the usual fish, egg boiled (or nearly so) in the Onsen and various pickled Unknown vegetables with a bowl of rice. Where is the porridge? Off we went and after a morning brew we stopped at a bakery for some extra lunch supplies since our guides were providing bread and fillings. Not fish I am glad to say. I bought 4 items in the bakery, which looked delicious like custard tart etc. My rear bag had a lot of gear in so it was a bit of a squash, so when we saw the backup van later I ... read more
