Day 11

Utoro -> Nakashibetsu
Distance: 116km
Longest day so far, including a big haul over Rausu Pass this morning and down to the other side of the peninsula. Along the other coast are views of the islands disputed with Russia. That Russia has no intention of giving up control was rather emphatically illustrated just a few days ago when a Japanese fisherman found over there collecting crabs was shot in the head by the Russian coast guard. We gave the disputed territories and the crabs a miss.
