Day 68
Mountains goodbuye, let's go to the sea!
GPS: N 36 °, 59.306 ' E 138 °, 34.637 '
Altitude: 306 m
Place: Sakaemura
Etmal: 26 km
Total: 1,563 km
It hasn't been snowing, but it was hard by it. I can't get away
fast enough out of the mountains, because I don't really want to see any more snow now. On my way downhill to the valley, I meet again and again snow banks of the last year. Things
must be hard here in winter. All houses have a 3 m high cellar (looks like the first floor) to let always enough light into the ground floor because of the snow depth (now first floor). Only during the last hour of my today's trip the snow banks become less in the forest. The town which I wanted to reach has
already started 15 km before and seems to go to the sea
(100 km). In the end I find a place to stay beside a temple,
I'm not really spoiled….
