We have left the coast and drove towards the hinterland. Different. We ran over the back of a small hill and there it was not so much building, but now we are on a large plain, and here it is built over it.

There is no limit as well as between villages or towns, one after another, but if it is to fit 130 million people over an area as large as Bengal so it is necessary to build on anything that can be built. Tonight we have taken in to a hotel capable of operating in an area with a lot of big deals. It is as if you built a hotel on the "Well-south" opposite Harald Nyborg. In addition, it is fully loaded.

we've been running all day and that means we run about 20 mil. because they are running at max 50-60 km per hour here. The roads are really nice and the weather has been fine today. Sun and about 27-28 degrees. It can not complain, right?

Earth temple ....

Today we have been in the Ice, Japan's holiest site. According to legend, Emperor of all derived from this location.

It was a very nice temple area in a large park and there were lots of big old trees that they were very scared about.

And I'm so wet on both shoes o socks ... .. But it dries. After rain comes sun, so we still hope.

When you take into the hotel here so you get traditional Japanese clothing as you can "cuddle" in and around Kjell took the opportunity to finally try these when we lived in a hotel. Here's where J-san ....

Japan ... .. This is beautiful it can not be denied. We've been running around a small peninsula to the east of Osaka. You can not continue to run here all drive very carefully. Max 60, and I think we had an average speed yesterday at about 30-40 km / hr. The roads are very nice and in great condition, no holes and no bumps here. The only concern is that they have a lot of painted markings on roads and they can become slippery in the rain so you have to be careful where they are.

It is expensive in Japan it can not be denied. Staying in a hotel you may be up to between 1500 - 2000 kr. (In Korea, we found the motel to 160 per night) A typical lunch costs around 120 SEK. Gasoline costs about as at home in Sweden.

We stopped in a small fishing port and liabilities bit and then we decided to take a few short dared the rain.

We have to be afraid of the cameras. Electronically equipment does not like rain. Two GPS's are freaking out and now does not work Karin's old comrade, the retractable Nokian, either. We have also been scrapped away some chargers and other equipment that does not like the climate.
Good thing we have options for loading and Kjell are good at cooking things.

What we understand of the news here in Japan so they had tsunami warnings here too. Now it had time to decay before it got here but this was the case at all prepared for it could be. When you drive along the coast here we see everywhere high crossing and everywhere there are signs that tell you how high above the water you are. So they know the problem exists.

We just saw the weather forecast on TV to the south coast of Japan's raging right now 2 pc typhoons, one seems to head to China, but the second may well go toward Japan. Sooo .... we'll see how it goes, we should at least not camping that night.
