Day 19
The universe is damaged
GPS: N 32 °, 56 802 ' E 131 °, 50.212 '
Place: Yayoi
Etmal: 21 km (10 Kyushu + 11 Shikoku)
Total: 428 km
Arriving today in Saiki, I realize that I have actually found the last free place: next to a cloaca, which has really nothing to do with a creek. Again no washing (this is already the third day), - but, at least... I am sniffing the proof: the weather is like in Bremen, 5 degrees, drizzle and a town. All towns are similar, I have mentioned it already! Well, at 10.50 a.m. I reach the ferry for Shikoku - the only one leaving today (this is pure luck, there are no hazards). After I've bought the ticket, I go on board at 10.58 a.m. and at 11.00 a.m. ship ahoy! At 11.30 a.m. I am listening to the radio news and learn that exactly at 10.59 a.m. a heavy earthquake (6 +) has struck Kyushu. Humph, maybe I've damaged the universe... Today I spend the night in a Ryokan (like an inn) nearby the 39th temple (of the 88th temple-pilgrim's tour). Tomorrow I must sort it out, somehow..!
