The last thing I noticed yesterday has been a stereo sound:
on the right ear the rattling of the rig as well as fishes jumping for joy and on the left ear a Japanese woman singing somewhere far away. Great! In the morning, I can't believe it; everything is still dry, although there are already a lot of rain clouds in the sky. I'm happy because I can walk 20 km along
a seaside road. It's simply wonderful to get finally out of the crowded valleys with the truck terror. On the beach a lot of anglers are trying their luck; but they have put additional blue tarps on their tents and this seems to me a bad omen. When
at 2 p.m. the first rain drops are falling bit by bit from the grey sky, I find an unguarded campground on the beach of Kochi.
I just managed it to pitch my tent and to go shopping without getting wet: Duck in honey, Kimchi (hot sandwiched
cabbage), sour vegetables and 2 kilos of grapefruits, as well as 3 chocolate bars against bad mood. Today I have discovered the first signs of webs between my toes when washing them. Yesterday I met the fourth Gaijin with his Japanese girlfriend (Miel + Mayumi) which do the 88 temples tour. They have had only bad weather in the north! Well then: Tomorrow in the morning dew, let's go to the mountains,
fallera!
