Place: Wakayama castle
Etmal: 21 km
Total: 795 km
After a night in the castle park of Wakayama I wake up at
half past five in a group of old people who are standing
around my tent and are doing Tai-Chi. When I open the tent, they ask me grinning and laughing to take part. However,
after the last night I'm not really in the mood. Yesterday
evening they celebrated the O-hana-mi (Sakura), but from
11 p.m. the ceremony has been turning into a wild party of youngsters bawling Karaoke the whole night. Some of them are still lying here and then in the park. I couldn't get my eyes shut due to this artistic show and that's why I feel bad! However: the cherries are in full blossom and above all
there's the castle. Beautiful! Looking a little bit tattered I'm leaving for Mount Koya.
