Lazy Days and Sundays

Good Evening,

welcome dear readers to another exciting, or as it happens today, a rather unexciting entry. Today was not the most active of days, not realizing how much yesterdays train journey took out of me, i slept until after 12pm and on my rousing, felt quite lethargic. I managed the 20minute walk down to the convinience store, a 7-11 i may add, to buy buy the days provisions. With only 20,000 yen in my pocket, i become awaye of the need to find a bank or Bureau Exchange about the stations tommorrow, when i start another 10hour journey to the Island of Shinjoku to the south. I expect to spend 5 relaxing days, soaking in the hills and temples, and of course in the Onsens as well!

With another Italian meal bought i head back up the hill to my Youth hostel and eat my meager offering.　　Ｂｕｉｌｄｉｎｇ　ｕｐ　ｍｙ　ｓｔｒｅｎｇｔｈ　to climb the hill, or rather catch the gondola, to the top. CLimbing on two gondalas, through the clouds, i looked up and down the valley, and felt happy. Though the mountains, i have to admit, have nothing on the Scottish hills, in that fact you can't see the massive eroding forces of Glaciation at work as easily, the still impress, and seeing the densely packed forests of Trees and Bamboo covering the hills like a thick skin. The top of the hill was disapointing though, after another 20minute walk to the sumit, or what might have been the summit if i could have seen, i was greeted by dense layers of cloud, not as impressive as i had hoped. So after all that, i poked about a bit, had　a coke from a vending machine, on top of a mountain! and proceeded back down the hill, and back to bed.

So as you can tell, not the most important of days i have ever had, but i feel worth it. Everyone needs a bit of relaxation. And it was nice to not have finished the day, sweating like a rather sweaty pig. I may go for a bit of a bath later, and hope i even see someone to talk to tonight, unlike last.

So Au-Revoir, or what ever they say in Japan. Im off by train to Matsuyama so i doubt there shall be much to report, but what little there will be, i shall document with little skill, but ample amounts of passion.
