Another long day on the bike – 80.3km (my battery ran out 2km before the end!) it would have to be the longest ride we’ve ever done on our Brompton’s. The weather for today was just perfect – 27 degrees in some sections! As we were in for a long day we left early – after a hearty breakfast:

We stocked up on supplies for the day- using appropriate parks available.

Cycling through a variety of fishing towns… and the petals falling from the trees ….ah

We nearly missed Mitsukejima – thankfully I looked at the map! It’s rather impressive front on…

Side view taken as Kym decided to walk on sand with the bikes

For the majority of the day we cycled through little fishing villages… next to the sea

We stopped for the odd snack – a bread shop out here… not what we expected!

There were a number of hills.. and just when we thought we were done… there was one final one, to our accommodation for the night.
