Unfortunately it was still taking photos as if I was standing in a fog, I decided to try it out during the day and if necessary switch to my mobile phone which was luckily in good shape.

You share many of your fine qualities of determination, endurance and devotion in your blogs Per-Olof, but this one shows magnificently one of the finest...your time shared with locals and by so doing entering their lives and sharing stories they are so willing to hear and tell. One of our favourite times in all our travels was with a rickshaw driver over lunch in a peasant restaurant in the Fragrant Hills out of Beijing, who was one of the poorest men we have ever met but our time with him over two days was one of the richest.

Thank you my dancing friend. =) One of the best parts of travelling is the people you meet, they often stand out more in memory than the monuments you visit. =)

Yay! Glad to read that the typhoon finally ended, and that you had some good weather on your day off rest, my friend. I hope all your things continued to dry out nicely.

Weather, people and food...
...three things that can make or break a walking holiday for me :) Glad to hear you gave yourself a slower day to recuperate. I'm intrigued by the ryokans, and will definitely be trying to stay in as many as we can when we eventually make it to Japan. What does a typical ryokan breakfast include?

It was a much needed break. =) Breakfast at a ryokan is usually quite comprehensive, lots of different dishes, many of them seasonal in nature. =)
