There is nothing like a short 30km day to get you motivated. After sleeping in,

.. and breakfast we left around 9:30

We were very pleased to see the last tunnel we had to go through was one which did not involve other traffic!

Along the road we stopped for a coffee, and the person working there had spent the past year in Australia working. You can cook clams & oysters over hot coals. If only we were here for lunch!

The road we are following is along the shoreline and we go through many fishing villages.

To get to our final destination of Wakura Onsen we cycled over Nakujimamachi (Twin bridge Noto). As it was a Sunday, there were a number of groups of motorcyclists of all different types who passed us in both directions along the route.

From the rest spot before going over the bridge, we could see our final destination. We were saying “oh this will be easy.. it’s just following the road around the island.. “. This turned out not to be the case. There were more hills – including the last bridge into the town, where the wind was also pretty strong. Thank goodness for the footpath, otherwise we would of slowed down the traffic had we cycled on the road.

When we arrived we celebrated by having a cake… yummo! Here’s to short cycling days!
