It was a lousy night pouring the whole time, but however I reached the place dryly and this morning it has stopped raining. This has been the first night with only one sleeping bag! Finally, it becomes warmer. Today's a relaxing one. I
am walking 6 km down the road in order to go with a cable railway to a cloister (21st temple of the 88-temple tour). On
the way black clouds are appearing over the mountain, but I waste my time and take a look at a temple with incredibly ancient trees. I am just arriving in time at the valley station
when the "mother of all thunderstorms" kicks off. The thunderstorm is blowing, you can't even tell it rain and it's
rather a water wall. I decide to stay at the bottom of the mountain today. Everything is completely swimming, but it's better here than being on the mountain. Maybe I'll get sake somewhere…
