Day 12

Nakashibetsu -> Kaya Wetlands
Distance: 75km
Stiff headwinds today meant big effort and little headway. Called it a day early and pulled into a nice swamp-side campsite. Ecologically important area and home to the now rare red-crested white crane (symbol of Japan and JAL) etc etc, but geez, who'd have thought there'd be so many mosquitos in a swamp?! Very hot hot-springs right next door made up for it though.

Nathan should be used to the mosquitos. It is the Minnesota state bird, you know.
